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

An increasing amount of research explores the role of race in clinical phenotypes and outcomes in ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to investigate racial differences in infliximab (IFX) treatment efficacy in UC. We used aggregate data from IFX trials and evidence synthesis methods to generate race-specific efficacy estimates. Then, we tested the effect modification by race by comparing the race-specific estimates derived from independent evidence syntheses. We computed ratios of relative risks (RRRs) and performed tests of statistical interaction. We analyzed data from five randomized, placebo-controlled trials evaluating IFX as induction and maintenance therapy for adults with moderate-to-severe UC (875 participants; 45% Asians). We found no substantial evidence of racial differences concerning the efficacy of IFX in inducing clinical response (RRR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.66-1.20;
