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

backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a known complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with significant morbidity and mortality. However, outcomes of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with IBD remain limited.

methodsUsing the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2021), we identified primary PE admissions and stratified patients by the presence or absence of IBD, ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, complications, and health care utilization.

resultsAmong 1,096,499 PE admissions, 9868 (0.9%) had IBD. Compared with patients without IBD, patients with IBD were younger, more often female, and Caucasian (all

conclusionIn-hospital mortality in PE admissions was similar with and without IBD. The UC cohort had more bleeding complications than the CD cohort without mortality differences. The IBD cohort had higher hospitalization costs than those without IBD despite a similar length of stay.
