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

Amongst other indications, cyclosporine therapy has emerged as a novel agent for the management of severe refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). In the historic population of patients receiving cyclosporine therapy-namely solid organ transplant patients-renal toxicity has proven to be a significant mitigating side effect limiting the therapeutic window. However, dose-limiting sequelae amongst patients receiving cyclosporine for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have not been as significant. As a result, the fear of renal toxicity as an adverse effect is less of a concern in IBD patients. The goal of this manuscript is to emphasize the need for future research to explore optimal drug dosing and extended use of cyclosporine therapy in the treatment of IBD-given its pathophysiology, efficacy, and safety profile in patients with IBD.
