Temporal trends in surgery for Crohn's disease: a ten-year single-center retrospective study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeCrohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that requires surgery in many cases. The aim of this article is to present the experience of a referral center regarding surgical interventions for CD, while also exploring the transformations that have occurred over 10 years.
methodsThe data of patients underwent abdominal surgery for CD between 2013 and 2022 were collected prospectively. Data were compared between two periods (2013-2017 and 2018-2022). Temporal trends were assessed with the Mann-Kendall trend test.
resultsA total of 1059 individuals underwent 1176 surgical procedures, of which 67.1% were male. The median age of patients at the time of surgery was 36.0 years, and an overall increasing trend was observed in surgical volume (z = 3.04; p = 0.002). The proportion of patients treated with biologics increased from the first period (2013-2017) to the second (2018-2022), rising from 19.2% to 33.5% (p < 0.001). In the second stage, the proportion of patients who underwent surgery for abscesses or fistulas increased (47.8% vs. 40.0%, p = 0.028), while the percentage of emergency surgeries declined (3.0% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.001). Furthermore, there was a rise in the proportion of laparoscopic surgeries (76.5% vs. 63.7%, p < 0.001), coupled with a decrease in stoma rates (15.4% vs. 30.5%, p < 0.001) and postoperative complications (23.0% vs. 30.5%, p = 0.007).
conclusionThe frequency of biologics use in CD surgery have increased over time, and the proportion of penetrating patients has grown. Minimally invasive surgical methods have become the norm, and surgical outcomes have markedly enhanced, evidenced by a substantial reduction in both stoma rates and complication rates.
