Response to Upadacitinib in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Previously Treated with Tofacitinib.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsUpadacitinib is an oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor approved in the United States for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). However, data regarding its use following prior treatment with the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib is sparse. As such, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of upadacitinib therapy following tofacitinib exposure.
methodsThis is a multicenter retrospective study of patients with confirmed diagnosis of UC or CD who received upadacitinib after prior treatment with tofacitinib. The primary outcome of interest was patient-reported clinical improvement at first follow-up. Secondary outcome included discontinuation of corticosteroids, change in Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES) and change in inflammatory marker levels.
resultsA total of 31 patients met the inclusion criteria. Following upadacitinib initiation, 80.6% (25/31) of patients had clinical improvement, including 92.3% (24/26) of those with UC and 20% (1/5) of those with CD. Of the patients initially requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy, 80% (12/15) were able to discontinue corticosteroids. Individual mean change of fecal calprotectin was a decrease of 501.5 mcg/g ± 608.6 (P value = 0.01) while C-reactive protein decreased on average by 14.8 mg/L ± 25.3 (P value = 0.02) compared to when patients were on tofacitinib, with significant changes observed in the UC cohort. In patients with UC, individual MES after initiating upadacitinib decreased compared to prior to tofacitinib discontinuation (P value = 0.04).
conclusionOur study demonstrates that upadacitinib therapy in patients with prior tofacitinib exposure is associated with clinical improvement and a decrease in objective markers of inflammation in patients with UC.
