Macroscopic Endoscopy Findings in Microscopic Colitis.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Microscopic colitis (MC) is a condition characterized by abnormal histology in the absence of endoscopic findings. However, case reports of endoscopic findings in MC have been published. We compared the prevalence of such findings in patients with MC and controls being evaluated for chronic diarrhea, as well as whether endoscopic findings are associated with MC severity. Methods: Endoscopy images from patients in our institutional MC registry and controls presenting for colonoscopy for evaluation of chronic diarrhea without MC were reviewed by a panel of physicians for the presence of endoscopic findings: abnormal vascularity, mucosal tears, scarring, nodularity, and scalloping. In patients with MC, degree of clinical severity was compared between patients with and without endoscopic findings. Results: In our cohort of 275 patients, endoscopic findings were present in 41 of 168 (24.4%) of patients diagnosed with MC and 11 of 107 (10.3%) of those without MC ( Conclusion: Our results suggest that subtle endoscopic findings are more common in patients with MC than those with other causes of chronic diarrhea. While findings are not unique to MC, clinicians should be aware of macroscopic findings seen in patients with MC.
