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

purposeUlcerative colitis (UC) is associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQL) and work-related outcomes (WRO). This analysis examined correspondences among measures of HRQL and WRO in patients with UC, as well as the magnitude of each measure's responsiveness to disease activity and treatment.

methodsAn open-label, prospective trial of delayed-release mesalamine tablets formulated with MMX(®) technology included 8 weeks of treatment for patients with active mild-to-moderate UC (n = 137) and 12 months of maintenance treatment for patients with quiescent UC (n = 206). Spearman correlations (ρ) measured inter-domain associations across measures of generic HRQL [12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12v2)], disease-specific HRQL [Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)], and disease-specific WRO [Work Productivity and Activity Impairment for Specific Health Problems (WPAI:SHP)]. Responsiveness to disease activity and treatment was assessed for each instrument.

resultsChanges in scores from baseline to week 8 were moderately correlated across all instrument domains: 65 of 80 (81 %) between-instrument inter-domain correlations were of moderate magnitude (0.30 < ρ < 0.70), with an average magnitude of 0.42 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.38-0.46]. Associations between symptom measures were stronger for SIBDQ (|average ρ| = 0.41; 95 % CI 0.34-0.48) and WPAI:SHP (0.40; 0.30-0.47) than SF-12v2 (0.30; 0.27-0.34). SIBDQ was most sensitive to treatment [effect size (d z ) for change from baseline to week 8 = 0.62; 95 % CI 0.35-0.89], followed by WPAI:SHP (d z = 0.43; 0.32-0.54) and SF-12v2 (d z = 0.33; 0.27-0.39).

conclusionWhile the SIBDQ showed the greatest overall responsiveness to disease activity and treatment, all three patient-reported outcomes instruments provided complementary interpretive information regarding the impact of UC treatment.
