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/Aims: Filgotinib (FIL), a Janus kinase inhibitor, shows clinical efficacy in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC), but no prospective studies have examined endoscopic and histopathological outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of FIL in moderate to severe UC using the Partial Mayo Score (PMS), Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and Geboes Histopathology Score (GHS). Methods: Twenty-two patients with clinically moderate to severe refractory UC were enrolled. Remission was defined as PMS 0, UCEIS 0, and GHS < 2.0 (sigmoid and rectum). Achievement rates were prospectively evaluated at 12, 24, and 52 weeks after FIL initiation compared to baseline. Results: Among the 22 patients, comprising Biologic-Naïve (BN, Conclusions: Filgotinib appears to be an effective treatment for UC, demonstrating potential for achieving not only clinical remission but also endoscopic and histopathological remission.
