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

backgroundAnti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) agents are effective for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Nonetheless, a proportion of patients fail to respond to these agents as therapy for induction of remission. Recent studies indicated that perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA) may predict response to anti-TNF-α agents in UC patients. However, whether PR3-ANCA can predict primary nonresponse (PNR) to anti-TNF-α agents has not yet been evaluated. The aim of this study was to examine whether PR3-ANCA can predict PNR to anti-TNF-α in UC patients.

methodsThis was a single-center retrospective study. Data were extracted from 50 patients with UC who had measurements of PR3-ANCA and received anti-TNF-α agents for the first time as induction therapy. The primary endpoint of this study was a proportion of patients with PNR stratified by PR3-ANCA positivity. PNR to anti-TNF-α agents was defined as failure to achieve reduction in partial Mayo score by 2 or more points and change to other therapeutics within 6 weeks.

resultsFourteen (28%) of the 50 patients were PR3-ANCA positive. Seventeen (34%) of the 50 patients demonstrated PNR. Eleven (78.6%) of the 14 PR3-ANCA-positive patients demonstrated PNR, while 6 (16.7%) of the 36 PR3-ANCA-negative patients demonstrated PNR. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PR3-ANCA positivity was associated with PNR to anti-TNF-α agents (odds ratio 19.29, 95% CI: 3.30-172.67;

conclusionPR3-ANCA positivity can predict PNR to anti-TNF-α agents in UC patients.
