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

In recent decades, scientific research has considerably evolved in the field of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and clinical studies have become increasingly complex, including new outcomes, different study populations, and additional techniques of re-randomization and centralized control. In this context, randomized clinical trials are the gold standard for new drugs' development. However, traditional study designs are time-consuming, expensive, and only a small percentage of the tested therapies are approved. For this reason, a new study design called "adaptive design" has been introduced, allowing to accumulate data during the study and to make predefined adjustments based on the results of scheduled interim analysis. Our aim is to clarify the advantages and drawbacks of adaptive designs in order to properly interpret study results and to identify their role in upcoming IBD trials.
