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

Monitoring disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is challenging since clinical manifestations do not represent reliable surrogates for an accurate reflection of the inflammatory burden. Endoscopic remission had been the most significant endpoint target in the last years; nevertheless, a remarkable proportion of patients continue to relapse despite a normal-appearing mucosa, highlighting that endoscopy may underestimate the true extent of the disease. A subtle hint of the importance that histology plays in the long-term course of the disease has been endorsed by the STRIDE-II consensus, which recommends considering histologic healing for ulcerative colitis (UC), even though it is not stated to be a compulsory formal target. It is a continuum-changing paradigm, and it is almost a certainty that in the near future, histologic healing may become the new formal target for ulcerative colitis. It must be emphasized that there is great heterogeneity in defining histological remission, and the main criteria or cut-off values for inflammatory markers are still in an ill-defined area. The complexity of some histologic scores is a source of confusion among clinicians and pathologists, leading to low adherence in clinical practice when it comes to a homogenous histopathological report. Therefore, a standardized and more practical approach is urgently needed.
