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.

Abstract

backgroundTeduglutide reduces or eliminates parenteral support (PS) dependency in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Recent post hoc analyses demonstrated that effects are correlated with baseline PS volume. We assessed the SBS-related quality-of-life (QoL) impact of teduglutide, particularly whether improvements are greater among subgroups achieving more PS volume reduction.

methodsUsing phase 3 trial data of teduglutide in patients with SBS (NCT00798967), change in Short Bowel Syndrome-Quality of Life (SBS-QoL) scores from baseline were compared between teduglutide vs placebo in the overall population and subgroups classified by baseline PS volume requirement, disease etiology, and bowel anatomy. Generalized estimating equation models were fitted to assess impact of teduglutide on SBS-related QoL using data from all visits, adjusted for baseline characteristics.

resultsOf 86 patients, 43 each were randomized to teduglutide or placebo (mean age: 51 vs 50 years, respectively). In adjusted analyses, teduglutide had a nonsignificant reduction (improvement) of -8.6 points (95% CI: 2.6 to -19.8) in SBS-QoL sum score from baseline to Week-24 vs placebo. The impact of teduglutide varied by subgroup. Patients treated with teduglutide experienced significantly greater reductions in SBS-QoL sum score at Week-24 vs placebo in 2 subgroups, ie, the third (highest) tertile baseline PS volume (-27.3, 95% CI: -50.8 to -3.7) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; -29.6, 95% CI: -46.3 to -12.9). Results were similar for SBS-QoL subscale and item scores.

conclusionsThe impact of teduglutide treatment on SBS-related QoL vs placebo varied among subgroups and was significant and most pronounced among patients with highest baseline PS volume requirement or IBD.
