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

backgroundGreat efforts by the scientific community are rapidly expanding the evidence on the clinical interplay between Covid-19 and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

aimsWe performed a systematic review of the literature on published Covid-19 cases occurring in patients with IBD.

methodsPubMed Central/Medline and Embase were systemically searched for records up to May 31, 2020.

results13 cohort studies and 5 single case reports were included in the qualitative synthesis. A cumulative number of approximately 800 patients with IBD and Covid-19 were identified. The case fatality rate ranged from 0% to 20.0%. Overall, immunomodulators and biologics were not associated with higher risk of Covid-19 or with negative outcomes, while the use of systemic corticosteroids was related to worse prognosis in some studies.

conclusionsThis systematic review highlighted two main points that may help clinicians dealing with IBD in reassuring their patients: (1) patients with IBD do not seem to be at higher risk of being infected by SARS-COV-2 than the general population; (2) in case of Covid-19, treatment with immunomodulators or biologics is not associated with worse prognosis, while systemic steroids are suspected to be potentially detrimental, even if more data are needed to confirm this point.
