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

Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal integrin blocker with gut selective effects on lymphocyte trafficking. Its efficacy and safety for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were demonstrated by phase III GEMINI studies (GEMINI 1 trial: Vedolizumab as Induction and Maintenance Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis; GEMINI 2 trial: Vedolizumab as Induction and Maintenance Therapy for Crohn's Disease). Post hoc analyses of the GEMINI studies further showed the potential benefit of vedolizumab for treating various extraintestinal manifestations, including arthralgias, pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema nodosum, and uveitis. However, findings lacked statistical significance highlighting the need for more clinical data describing vedolizumab's effects on extraintestinal manifestations. There are currently few case reports describing the effect of vedolizumab on pyoderma gangrenosum specifically. We report a Crohn's disease patient whose severe pyoderma gangrenosum of her legs, abdomen, and face have been inactive since starting vedolizumab.
