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

backgroundUnderstanding disease burden is imperative for improving inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management. This real-world survey investigated residual disease burden and treatment satisfaction among European patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).

methodsThe Adelphi Real World IBD Disease Specific Programme was a multinational, cross-sectional survey with retrospective collection of patient- and physician-reported data on disease burden and management. Between October 2020 and March 2021, participating gastroenterologists recruited their next 7 (UC) and 8 (CD) eligible patients and reported demographics and clinical characteristics. Patients completed symptom, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and treatment satisfaction questionnaires. Data were adjusted for confounding variables and compared between patients in remission (clinical remission, endoscopic remission, or both) and not in remission.

resultsOverall, 1040 patients (UC, n = 502; CD, n = 538) were included. Although most patients were in remission (UC, 66.1%; CD, 69.5%), most still reported symptoms (UC, 63.7%; CD, 74.1%), including flatulence, fatigue/tiredness, and abdominal pain/distension. In UC, there were no significant differences in the likelihood of experiencing 7 of 23 symptoms between patients in remission and not in remission. In CD, there was no significant difference in 19 of 23 symptoms between patients in remission and not in remission. Several symptoms were significantly associated with reduced HRQoL. HRQoL was significantly better among patients in remission than not in remission.

conclusionsPatients with IBD, both in remission and not in remission, experience residual symptoms that impair HRQoL. Comprehensive endpoints, incorporating HRQoL and patients' perspectives, and improved treatments are needed to address residual disease and patients' needs.
