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

The past decades witnessed a significant stride in deciphering the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease, which further advanced drug development adding several new biologicals and small molecules to the arsenal of available therapies. Surprisingly, this wealth in therapeutic options did not yield the aspired high durable response rates. In addition, the increase in therapeutic availabilities ignited an increase in research toward biomarkers that could help assign therapies to patients with the highest probability of response. Luckily, major steps have been undertaken in this domain which resulted in the discovery of some interesting biomarkers that are still under validation. However, the pace in which this domain is progressing, the discordance between short-term endpoints in biomarker discovery studies and the ambition of the disease community in modifying disease course, and the uncertainties about the validity of discovered biomarkers highlight the need for a critical appraisal of research conduct in this domain. In this review, we shed light on areas of improvement in biomarker discovery studies that will help optimize the use of available therapies and break the current therapeutic ceiling.
