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

backgroundYoung patients with Crohn's disease (CD) show a high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) which is the main cause of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). A major complication for patients undergoing immunocompromising therapy is the development of genital dysplasia.

methodsWe report the case of a 32-year-old patient with recurrent genital dysplasia under long-term therapy for CD with a focus on different drug-related, immunosuppressive mechanisms.

resultsGynecological examination and biopsy revealed high-grade vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) positive for HPV 16 treated with laser vaporization. Due to the combination of HPV positivity, intraoperative multilocularity, and CD, follow-up examinations were performed every 6 months. One year later, the patient showed a VIN at a new location and additionally, a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which were surgically treated. Catch-up HPV vaccination was applied accessorily. After the switch from a TNF-α blocker to vedolizumab, which acts as a gut-selective anti-integrin, the subsequent PAP smear, vulvoscopy, and colposcopy showed no more evidence of dysplasia.

conclusionsThis case report highlights that gut-selective immunosuppression with vedolizumab might be favorable in young HPV-positive patients due to a good side effect profile. Regular screening and HPV vaccination are a mainstay of dysplasia prevention and control. The risk for HPV-associated dysplasia in immunosuppressed patients is highly dependent on the choice of immunosuppressive therapy.
