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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveEndoscopy-based scoring systems, including Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES), Modified Mayo Endoscopic Score (MMES), and Degree of Ulcerative Colitis Burden of Luminal Inflammation (DUBLIN) Score, have been introduced to evaluate UC prognosis. This study aims to compare their predictive capacity for clinical outcomes in UC patients.

methodsConsecutive UC patients from a tertiary hospital were included. The primary outcome was acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC), and secondary outcomes were UC-related admission, medication treatment escalation, disease extension and surgery. Predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

resultsAmong 300 patients, 15.3% developed ASUC. Robust correlations were observed among the three scoring systems and were with elevated serum inflammatory markers. The DUBLIN score exhibited superior predictive ability for UC-related admission (AUC 0.751; 95%CI 0.698-0.799) and medication treatment escalation (AUC 0.735; 95% CI 0.681-0.784). No statistical differences were found among three scoring systems for predicting ASUC, disease extension, and surgery. Employing respective cut-offs of 2, 11.25, and 3, higher MES (HR = 3.859, 95% CI 1.636-9.107, p = 0.002), MMES (HR = 3.352, 95% CI 1.879-5.980, p < 0.001), and DUBLIN score (HR = 5.619, 95% CI 2.378-13.277, p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of developing ASUC.

conclusionThe DUBLIN score, assessing the overall inflammatory burden of the intestinal tract, outperforms the MMES in predicting admission and medication treatment escalation related to UC. Its integration into clinical practice has the potential to enhance risk stratification for patients with UC.
