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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory condition of the large intestine. Recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of UC have led to the development of novel treatments for this often debilitating condition. Aside from aminosalicylates and corticosteroids, drugs that have been used for decades in the treatment of UC, biologic agents, in addition to medications targeting specific effector mechanisms involved in the inflammatory cascade, have been used in patients with UC with varying degrees of success. Clinicians have never had as many therapeutic options for UC as they do today. Herein we review the variety of treatment options, both standard and investigational, that are available for patients with UC.
