Comparative Safety of Ustekinumab and Vedolizumab in Older Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Bicentric Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Data about the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab are lacking in older patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The objective was to compare the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab therapies in older patients (>60 years) with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis initiating vedolizumab, ustekinumab or anti-TNF therapy at >60 years of age. We examined the occurrence of adverse events within one year after therapy. Results: This study included 182 patients: 53 were treated with vedolizumab (22 patients with Crohn’s disease and 31 with ulcerative colitis), 31 with ustekinumab (30 Crohn’s disease and one ulcerative colitis) and 98 with anti-TNF (63 Crohn’s disease and 35 ulcerative colitis). At one year, there was no difference in terms of safety in patients with Crohn’s disease between vedolizumab and ustekinumab considering the number of adverse events per year of follow-up (p = 0.258). For ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, the occurrence of adverse events per year of follow-up was similar between vedolizumab and anti-TNF (p = 0.274 and p = 0.876, respectively). Conclusions: Safety was similar between vedolizumab and ustekinumab in older patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
