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

Management of medically refractory inflammatory bowel disease during pregnancy remains challenging due to limited evidence regarding rescue therapy, surgical timing, and fetal safety. We report a case of third-trimester inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified treated with accelerated infliximab rescue therapy and serial intestinal ultrasound monitoring. Persistent clinical, biochemical, and sonographic disease activity despite intensive medical therapy prompted multidisciplinary decision making, culminating in combined lower segment caesarean section and left hemicolectomy at 33+6 weeks gestation. This case highlights the value of multidisciplinary care and serial intestinal ultrasound as an adjunctive objective tool to support therapeutic escalation and surgical decision making in pregnancy.
