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

backgroundWe explored inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) coexistence using a global dataset. Investigating their epidemiology, risks, and impact, we aimed to enhance the understanding of concurrent diagnoses and patient outcomes.

methodsA retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted using deidentified patient data from the TriNetX database (2011-2022). We estimated the incidence and prevalence of EoE in patients with IBD, including both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and vice versa. Risks of select immune-mediated conditions and disease complications were compared among patients with EoE, IBD, or concurrent diagnoses.

resultsOur results included 174,755 patients with CD; 150,774 patients with UC; and 44,714 patients with EoE. The risk of EoE was significantly higher among patients with CD (prevalence ratio [PR] 11.2) or UC (PR 8.7) compared with individuals without IBD. The risk of IBD was higher in patients with EoE (CD: PR 11.6; UC: PR 9.1) versus those without EoE. A propensity-matched analysis of IBD patients revealed that, when comparing patients with and without EoE, the relative risk of immune-mediated comorbidities was significantly greater for celiac disease, IBD-related inflammatory conditions, eczema and asthma (CD: n = 1896; UC: n = 1231; p < 0.001). Patients with a concurrent diagnosis of EoE and IBD had a higher composite risk of IBD-related complications (CD: adjusted HR (aHR) 1.14, p < 0.005; UC: aHR 1.17, p < 0.01) and lower risk of food bolus impaction (aHR 0.445, p = 0.0011).

conclusionSimultaneous EoE and IBD increased IBD-related complications risk, needing more treatment (glucocorticoids, biologic therapy, abdominal surgery), while reducing EoE-related issues like food bolus impaction.
