Biomarkers Predictive of Response to Thiopurine Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
The complex nature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often results in treatment failure for many patients. With some patients cycling through multiple therapies before achieving a sustained period of remission, the ability to predict a patient's response to therapeutics could decrease the time from active disease to clinical remission and mucosal healing. The prospect of such individualized treatment of IBD would be aided by accurate biomarkers, both fecal and serological, which have to date shown value as indicators of IBD activity. Here we review the utility of generic biomarkers for inflammation or mucosal healing, such as calprotectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and fecal hemoglobin (fHb) as predictors of response to treatment of IBD. We further provide a deeper insight into the utility of monitoring the thiopurine treatment by thiopurine metabolites or alternative hematologic parameters. In light of multiple recent publications of biomarkers and biological therapy, our focus in this review is predicting response to thiopurine treatment only, that is, Azathioprine and 6-Mercaptopurine.
