Achievement of long-term treatment goals in upadacitinib-treated patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis: a post hoc analysis of phase 3 trial data.
Trial report in Journal of Crohn's & colitis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsComprehensive disease control is an important yet elusive treatment goal in ulcerative colitis (UC). We evaluated the effect of upadacitinib induction and maintenance treatment on composite clinical endpoints and normalization of important health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes.
methodsData from the U-ACHIEVE and U-ACCOMPLISH trials were analyzed. Clinical responders to upadacitinib 45 mg 8-week induction were re-randomized 1:1:1 to upadacitinib 30 mg, 15 mg, or placebo for 52 weeks of maintenance. The percentage of patients achieving a composite clinical endpoint (clinical remission, complete symptom resolution, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire [IBDQ] remission) and a composite endpoint for normalization of HRQoL outcomes (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, IBDQ remission, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire-Ulcerative Colitis, 36-item Short Form Survey Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Survey, and EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level scores) was evaluated.
resultsAt induction week 8, more patients treated with upadacitinib 45 mg achieved the composite clinical endpoint vs placebo (6.4% vs 0.9%, P ≤ .001) and normalization of the composite HRQoL endpoint (18.9% vs 5.5%, P ≤ .001). At maintenance week 52, the composite clinical endpoint was achieved by 18.3% and 13.1% of patients treated with upadacitinib 30 mg and 15 mg, respectively, vs 4.5% with placebo (P ≤ .001). Normalization of the composite HRQoL endpoint was achieved by 24.0% and 22.3% of patients treated with upadacitinib 30 mg and 15 mg, respectively, vs 8.7% for placebo (P ≤ .001).
conclusionsUpadacitinib may help patients with moderately to severely active UC achieve complete symptom resolution, endoscopic remission, and normalization of HRQoL. CLINICAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS: U-ACHIEVE (NCT02819635) and U-ACCOMPLISH (NCT03653026).
