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

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in approximately 70% of patients, with ulcerative colitis (UC) being the most common subtype of IBD identified. There is a paucity of data on the optimum management strategy for IBD flares in the post-liver transplant patient, particularly when refractory to conventional treatments. Vedolizumab is a novel gut-specific monoclonal antibody, which has recently been approved for use by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for moderate-to-severe UC. We present an exemplar case of successful use of vedolizumab in the management of corticosteroid refractory PSC-IBD after liver transplantation.
