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

BACKGROUND &

aimsEndoscopic and histologic remission are important goals in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated the correlation of the recently developed Paddington International Virtual ChromoendoScopy ScOre (PICaSSO) and other established endoscopic scores against multiple histological indices and prospectively assessed outcomes.

methodsIn this prospective multicenter international study, inflammatory activity was assessed with high-definition and virtual chromoendoscopy in the rectum and sigmoid using the Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES), UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and PICaSSO. Targeted biopsies were taken for assessment using Robarts Histological Index (RHI), Nancy Histological index (NHI), ECAP (Extent, Chronicity, Activity, Plus score), Geboes, and Villanacci. Follow-up data were obtained at 6 and 12 months after colonoscopy.

resultsA total of 307 patients were recruited. There was strong correlation between PICaSSO and histology scores, significantly superior to correlation coefficients of MES and UCEIS with histology scores. A PICaSSO score of ≤3 detected histologic remission by RHI (≤3 + absence of neutrophils) with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86-0.94) and NHI (≤1) AUROC 0.82 (95% CI 0.77-0.87). The interobserver agreement for PICaSSO was 0.88 (95% CI 0.83-0.92). At 6- and 12-months follow-up, PICaSSO score ≤3 predicted better outcomes than PICaSSO >3 (hazard ratio [HR] 0.19 [0.11-0.33] and 0.22 [0.13-0.34], respectively),} as well as PICaSSO 4-8 (HR 0.25 [0.12-0.53] and 0.22 (0.12-0.39), respectively) and similar to histologic remission.

conclusionIn this first real-life multicenter study, the PICaSSO score correlated strongly with multiple histological indices. Furthermore, PICaSSO score predicted specified clinical outcomes at 6 and 12 months, similar to histology. Thus, PICaSSO can be a useful endoscopic tool in the therapeutic management of UC.
