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

Collagenous colitis (CC) is a subtype of microscopic colitis characterized by chronic watery diarrhea with normal endoscopic findings. Although often linked to autoimmune diseases, its association with spondyloarthropathy (SpA) is rare and poorly documented. A 33-year-old man with longstanding diarrhea and polyarthralgia was initially misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia. After developing palmoplantar pustulosis and worsening musculoskeletal pain, repeat colonoscopy with biopsies confirmed CC. Imaging revealed sternal erosions and metatarsophalangeal effusions, supporting a diagnosis of SpA. Treatment with budesonide, mesalazine, and methotrexate provided partial improvement. A TNF-α inhibitor is being considered to target both intestinal and joint involvement. This case underscores the diagnostic complexity of CC and its potential association with SpA. Shared immune mechanisms suggest a common pathogenesis, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary management for optimal care.
