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

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe aim was to assess non-invasive factors among clinical features, laboratory, and bowel ultrasound (BUS) characteristics and to develop a scoring system to predict endoscopic activities for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients.

methodsWe performed a retrospective study collecting UC patients between January 2015 to September 2020. Logistic regression was performed to predict moderate-to-severe endoscopic activities, defined as endoscopic Mayo score ⩾2. Model performance was described with discrimination and calibration ability and validated by internal and external methods.

resultsA total of 103 and 29 patients were enrolled in the modeling and validation groups, respectively. Stool frequency ⩾5 times/day, hematochezia, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and colonic wall flow in BUS were included into two predictive models for endoscopic activities, both with good discrimination ability [Area under curve (AUC) 0.879 and 0.882,

conclusionWe developed predictive models for endoscopic disease activities by using noninvasive factors based on stool frequency, hematochezia, ESR, and colonic wall blood flow in BUS. These models performed well in the internal and external validation.
