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

Patients with stricturing/penetrating Crohn disease had significantly more hypertrophic/keloid scars than those with nonstricturing disease in this cross-sectional proof-of-concept study, suggesting potential shared fibrotic mechanisms between cutaneous and intestinal fibrosis. If corroborated in larger and more longitudinal cohorts, overcoming potential confounders such as postsurgical scars, this novel association may help identify patients at risk and facilitate development of targeted antifibrotic therapies.
