Review in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 risk of urgent bowel resection increases significantly among patients hospitalized with acute severe ulcerative colitis. In-hospital management requires quick diagnostic, therapeutic, and decision-making, combined with a multi-disciplinary approach and accessibility to multiple therapeutic options. However, the optimal strategy is still debatable. We performed a review of the current options for salvage therapy as well as novel therapy options emerging. We reviewed studies reporting outcomes of hospitalized steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis treated with salvage therapy (calcineurin inhibitors, infliximab) as well as studies using novel biologic, small molecules, antibiotics, and artificial intelligence to optimize therapy. We collected statistical data about patient factors that impact clinical management and how these can be applied to the real-life practice in order to prescribe a more personalized medicine. Several new drugs and approaches have shown benefits during the last decades for the management of acute severe ulcerative colitis. This effort is driven by the necessity of more effective, safe, and rapidly active therapeutic options with better convenient routes of administration, in order to improve therapeutic outcomes and quality of life for patients. The next step will be tailored medicine according to patients' profiles, taking into account disease characteristics, laboratory parameters, and patients' preferences.
