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 and Aims: Bowel urgency is a distressing and disruptive symptom in adults with ulcerative colitis (UC). We hypothesized that bowel urgency is associated with disease-related disability and influenced by psychosocial factors. Methods: Hierarchical multiple linear regression assessed baseline disease symptoms (severity of bowel urgency, stool frequency, and rectal bleeding) and psychosocial factors' association with disability, using cross-sectional data from the ADEPT (Addressing Disability Effectively with Psychosocial Telemedicine) trial. Results: Among 241 adults with UC, 48% (116/241) had moderate-to-severe bowel urgency, and 75% (89/119) of participants without diarrhea or rectal bleeding experienced bowel urgency. Bowel urgency was strongly correlated with disability (ρ = 0.597; Conclusion: Bowel urgency occurs in 75% of patients with UC without diarrhea or rectal bleeding and is strongly associated with disability. Illness perceptions, self-efficacy, and health-related social needs mediate bowel urgency and disability.
