A Clinical Prediction Model to Determine Probability of Response to Certolizumab Pegol for Crohn's Disease.
Trial report in BioDrugs : clinical immunotherapeutics, biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
backgroundCertolizumab pegol (CZP) is effective for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). Higher plasma concentrations are associated with better outcomes and increased drug clearance is the driver of subtherapeutic CZP concentrations.
objectiveWe aimed to develop a prediction model incorporating predicted CZP clearance and patient variables to allow estimation of the probability for remission prior to initiating therapy.
methodsA population pharmacokinetic model estimated baseline CZP clearance in patients with CD from nine phase II and III trials. Multivariable prediction models were developed and validated using the PRECiSE 1 and PRECiSE 2 datasets to identify candidate predictors for a composite remission outcome (Crohn's Disease Activity Index ≤ 150 and fecal calprotectin concentration ≤ 250 μg/g) at Weeks 6 or 26. An online clinical decision support tool (CDST) was developed.
resultsBaseline predicted CZP clearance ≥ 0.5 L/day was associated with subtherapeutic Week 6 CZP plasma concentrations. Baseline weight (odds ratio [OR] 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.07), calculated CZP clearance (OR 0.92; 95% CI 0.87-0.96), hematocrit (OR 2.55; 95% CI 1.43-4.54), and fecal calprotectin (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.54-0.80) were associated with Week 6 remission (p ≤ 0.0015 for all predictors). Baseline weight (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.07), calculated CZP clearance (OR 0.93; 95% CI 0.88-0.97), and Patient-Reported Outcome-2 (PRO2) (OR 0.93; 95% CI 0.87-0.99) were associated with Week 26 remission (p ≤ 0.033 for all predictors).
conclusionsPatients who are predicted to have accelerated baseline CZP clearance are at risk of subtherapeutic CZP concentrations. Patient-level probabilities for a composite remission outcome can be predicted for patients with CD by entering commonly available patient- and disease-related factors into an online CDST ( https://premedibd.com ) incorporating predicted CZP clearance.
