Evolving medical therapies for ulcerative colitis.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients with ulcerative colitis have traditionally relied on sulfasalazine, mesalamine, and corticosteroids as the mainstay of medical therapy. Steroid-refractory, -dependent, or -intolerant patients have resorted to agents such as cyclosporine for short-term efficacy and 6-mercaptopurine or azathioprine for long-term efficacy. The next generation of evolving therapies includes many novel agents that target various aspects of the human immune response. Therapies that block the production or action of tumor necrosis factor have received much interest in inflammatory bowel disease. Treatments currently under study include interleukins, interferons, T-cell selective antibodies, molecules involved in cellular trafficking and signaling, mucosal healing or growth factors, and novel steroid agents. Other "less traditional" therapies, including probiotics, heparins, and anti-gastric ulcer remedies, challenge our understanding of the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis and may provide further insights into future therapies.
