Real-World Treatment Persistence Among Advanced Therapy-Naïve or -Experienced Patients with Ulcerative Colitis Initiated on Ustekinumab or Adalimumab.

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.
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
introductionPersistence on advanced therapies in ulcerative colitis (UC) is a useful real-world treatment performance measure. This study compared real-world persistence during the maintenance phase among advanced therapy-naïve and -experienced patients with UC initiated on ustekinumab or adalimumab.
methodsClaims data from the IQVIA PharMetrics
resultsAt 12 months post-index, advanced therapy-naïve patients receiving ustekinumab (n = 371) had higher persistence on the index agent [83.8% vs. 57.6%, hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) = 3.09 (2.29-4.16); p < 0.001), persistence while corticosteroid-free [2.00 (1.63-2.45); p < 0.001], persistence while on monotherapy [2.67 (2.07-3.44); p < 0.001], and persistence on the labeled dose [4.21 (2.76-6.44); p < 0.001] versus those receiving adalimumab (n = 1726). At 12 months post-index, advanced therapy-experienced patients receiving ustekinumab (n = 693) had higher persistence on the index agent [78.1% vs. 59.2%, 2.44 (1.82-3.26); p < 0.001], persistence while corticosteroid-free [1.24 (1.01-1.54); p = 0.0447], persistence while on monotherapy [2.53 (2.00-3.21); p < 0.001], and persistence on the labeled dose [4.77 (3.09-7.35); p < 0.001] versus those receiving adalimumab (n = 254).
conclusionThis claims-based analysis demonstrated significantly higher treatment persistence, including persistence while corticosteroid-free, persistence while on monotherapy, and persistence on the labeled dose, among both advanced therapy-naïve and advanced therapy-experienced patients with UC initiated on ustekinumab compared to adalimumab.
