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 of reviewThe treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has evolved significantly over time based on "treat-to-target", an approach which uses sequential objective makers to monitor response to therapy with the ultimate goal of achieving endoscopic healing. Biomarkers, including C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, are an important noninvasive intermediate step in this treatment approach as well as in routine monitoring of disease activity. While widely utilized, there is significant variability and some uncertainty in biomarker implementation; this review summarizes evidence for the use of biomarkers in IBD. RECENT

findingsThe Selecting Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (STRIDE) update in combination with the 2023 American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) guidelines on the role of biomarkers in the management of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have offered significant new guidance for those who manage IBD. Biomarkers offer important insight into disease activity and can be used to track progress toward deeper levels of remission in IBD.
