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

Purpose: The long-term efficacy and safety of infliximab (IFX) in Japanese children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the long-term outcomes of IFX treatment in Japanese children with IBD. Methods: We retrospectively recruited patients aged <16 years who were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) at Kurume University Hospital in Japan between 2011 and 2022 and examined the effectiveness and safety of IFX. We characterized the responses to IFX as primary response, primary nonresponse (PNR), secondary loss of response (sLOR), or still receiving IFX. Results: Among the 77 enrolled patients with UC (median age, 10 years) and 48 with CD (median age, 12 years), 55 (27 with UC and 28 with CD) received IFX treatment. IFX treatment was significantly more common in patients with CD (58.3%) than in those with UC (35.1%; Conclusion: The long-term durability of IFX in Japanese pediatric patients with IBD was inadequate in UC compared with CD. Serious adverse events in 3.6% of patients required discontinuation.
