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

Developments in drug delivery technology have expanded the formulations of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) available to clinicians over the last 50 years. Delivery of adequate doses of 5-ASA to the colon can be achieved by pH-dependent, delayed-release or pro-drug formulations. Despite some variations in the pharmacokinetics between individual preparations, the clinical effects in induction of response and maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis appear to be consistent. Direct comparison studies between different preparations have yielded similar results in primary endpoints, although differences in secondary endpoints or post hoc analyses have been noted. The development of delivery methods that allow once-daily administration represents a potential means to improve the low medication adherence rates reported in patients with ulcerative colitis.
