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

backgroundInfliximab (IFX) is the first-line treatment for patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and is noted for its relatively high cost. The therapeutic efficacy of IFX has noticeable individual differences. Known single-gene polymorphisms (SNPs) are inadequate for predicting non-response to IFX. In this study, we aimed to identify new genetic factors associated with IFX-therapy failure and to predict non-response to IFX by developing a multivariate predictive model.

methodsIn this retrospective study, we collected and analysed the data of Chinese patients with CD who received IFX therapy at one hospital between June 2013 and June 2019. Primary non-response (PNR) and non-durable response (NDR) were evaluated using a simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD). A total of 125 SNPs within 44 genes were genotyped. A multivariate logistic-regression model was established to predict non-response to IFX. An area-under-the-receiver-operating-characteristics curve (AUROC) was applied to evaluate the predictive model performance.

resultsForty-two of 206 (20.4%) patients experienced PNR and 15 of 159 (9.4%) patients experienced NDR. Nine SNPs were associated with PNR (

conclusionGenetic polymorphisms are significantly associated with response to IFX among Chinese CD patients.
