Spatial Evolution of Histologic and Endoscopic Healing in the Left and Right Colon in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis.
Article in Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsDespite increasing interest in histologic remission as a treatment target in ulcerative colitis (UC), the accuracy of histologic findings in left colon in detecting pancolonic histologic remission is unknown.
methodsIn a retrospective cohort study of patients with endoscopically active pancolitis undergoing treat-to-target interventions, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of left-sided (distal to splenic flexure) histologic and endoscopic findings on colonoscopy for detecting histologic and endoscopic healing elsewhere in the colon.
resultsOf 86 patients with moderate to severely active pancolitis who underwent 2 consecutive colonoscopies during treat-to-target interventions, 38% and 51% achieved histologic and endoscopic remission, respectively. Substantial agreement (kappa, 0.67; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.51-0.83) was observed in histologic findings between left and right colon on follow-up colonoscopy. Histologic, and endoscopic, findings in left colon showed excellent accuracy in detecting pancolonic histologic remission (area under the curve (AUC), 0.96 [95% CI, 0.93-1.0]; misclassification rate, 5.9%), histologic normalization (AUC, 1.0, 0%), endoscopic improvement (AUC, 0.95 [0.96-1.0], 3.5%) and endoscopic remission (AUC, 0.98 [0.96-1.00], 5.8%), respectively.
conclusionsIn patients with active pancolitis undergoing treat-to-target interventions, histologic and endoscopic findings in the left colon on colonoscopy have excellent accuracy for detecting pancolonic histologic remission, histologic normalization, endoscopic improvement, and endoscopic remission. Flexible sigmoidoscopy may suffice for monitoring histologic and endoscopic activity in patients with pancolitis.
