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

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a significant public health concern, predominantly associated with high morbidity. However, there have been no reports investigating the trends of GIB in Japan using nationwide data. This study aims to identify current trends and issues in the management of GIB by assessing Japan's national data. We analyzed National Database sampling data from 2012 to 2019, evaluating annual hospitalization rates for major six types of GIB including hemorrhagic gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, esophageal variceal bleeding, colonic diverticular bleeding, ischemic colitis, and rectal ulcers. In this study, hospitalization rates per 100,000 indicated a marked decline in hemorrhagic gastric ulcers, approximately two-thirds from 41.5 to 27.9, whereas rates for colonic diverticular bleeding more than doubled, escalating from 15.1 to 34.0. Ischemic colitis rates increased 1.6 times, from 20.8 to 34.9. In 2017, the hospitalization rate per 100,000 for colonic diverticular bleeding and ischemic colitis surpassed those for hemorrhagic gastric ulcers (31.1, 31.3, and 31.0, respectively). No significant changes were observed for duodenal ulcers, esophageal variceal bleeding, or rectal ulcers. The findings of this study underscore a pivotal shift in hospitalization frequencies from upper GIB to lower GIB in 2017, indicating a potential shift in clinical focus and resource allocation.
