Efficacy and Safety of Vedolizumab in Management of Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
6 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 8 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease and causes inflammation and ulcer of the colon. Vedolizumab is a newer biological agent with an inhibitory effect on α4β7 integrin approved for moderate to severe UC patients. Our study reviewed the clinical response, clinical remission, and mucosal healing of vedolizumab in moderate to severe UC management. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, and nine studies were included in the systematic review. At week six, vedolizumab showed a significant clinical response. At week 52, vedolizumab showed significant mucosal healing and clinical remission. The most commonly associated adverse effects are nasopharyngitis, oropharyngeal infection, and gastrointestinal infection. However, additional clinical trials and observational studies with longer follow-ups are required to study the efficacy and safety of the drug.
