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

Background: Prior studies suggest that longer drive time (DT) to specialists and higher area deprivation index (ADI) are linked to worse outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their impact on postileocolic resection (ICR) care in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is not well defined. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate disparities in post-ICR care based on DT and ADI. Methods: Spatial analysis was performed with ArcGIS Pro to geocode patient and medical facility addresses with StreetMap Premium locators. High DT was defined as >60 min from the center. Data were analyzed using basic statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed of CD patients' post-ICR care at two tertiary-care IBD centers (January 2018-March 2023). Results: Our study included 293 patients; 44% had high DT. High DT had a higher median number of preoperative advanced therapy (2 vs 1, Conclusion: We identified no differences in postoperative colonoscopy timing or surgical recurrence in patients with CD at two tertiary IBD centers based on DT or ADI. Given the lack of disparities in care delivery among patients treated in tertiary IBD centers, further comparative studies to care outside of specialized networks are needed to evaluate whether centralization to IBD centers is superior.
