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

Type I interferons are commonly used immunomodulatory agents. Interferon-α (interferon-α) has been associated with ischemic colitis, but cases linking interferon-β (IFN-β) to ischemic colitis are rare. We present a 66-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis treated with IFN-β who developed acute abdominal pain and diarrhea. Imaging demonstrated right-sided colonic inflammation with pneumatosis. Colonoscopy with tissue biopsy confirmed ischemic colitis, despite patent mesenteric vasculature on angiographic imaging. Her symptoms resolved after discontinuation of IFN-β. This case highlights IFN-β as a potential cause of nonocclusive ischemic colitis and underscores the importance of recognizing ischemic complications in patients treated with IFN-β.
