1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Approximately 25% of people with quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have symptoms caused by a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID). The pathophysiology of FGIDs in IBD is multifactorial. The gut-brain axis plays an important role as a bidirectional pathway with reciprocal gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms. Other factors include altered gastrointestinal motility, microbiome dysbiosis, medication use, prior surgery, impaired intestinal permeability, immune-system activation, and visceral hypersensitivity. As both IBD and certain FGIDs can have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to determine which disorder is the precipitant of symptoms. However, a prompt diagnosis of an overlapping FGID helps avoid unnecessary corticosteroid use and escalations of IBD treatment. Despite their prevalence, there have been very few randomized controlled trials conducted on therapeutic interventions for overlapping FGIDs in IBD. Therefore, management usually follows those interventions recommended for FGIDs, with certain adaptations made to allow for an altered gastrointestinal anatomy and functioning, caused by IBD.
