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

backgroundThe modified multiplier of the SES-CD (MM-SES-CD) has been shown to predict future endoscopic healing (EH) in patients with Crohn's disease. The purpose of this study was to validate baseline MM-SES-CD categories of severity and determine their prognostic value for predicting 1-year EH.

methodsParticipants in the SEAVUE trial (n = 386) were classified based on baseline endoscopic disease severity using MM-SES-CD cut-offs as mild (≥ 22.5 to < 31), moderate (≥ 31 to < 45), and severe (≥ 45) disease. The primary outcome was achieving 1-year endoscopic healing (EH) as measured by the MM-SES-CD score (< 22.5). Secondary outcomes included clinical and biochemical remission at 1 year based on patient-reported outcomes and fecal calprotectin (FCP)(< 250 mcg/g).

resultsMM-SES-CD < 22.5 at 1 year was achieved in 62.0% of patients with baseline mild endoscopic disease, 48.6% with moderate disease, and 33.8% with severe disease (P < .001). A similar trend was observed for patient-reported outcome (PRO-2) clinical remission, which was reached in 78.9% of patients with baseline mild endoscopic disease, 72.9% of those with moderate, and 66.2% of those with severe disease (P = 0.09). The likelihood of fecal calprotectin (FCP) remission was significantly associated with baseline endoscopic disease severity (P = .008).

conclusionBaseline MM-SES-CD-based cutoffs for endoscopic disease severity show prognostic value for the likelihood of achieving 1-year EH, PRO2 remission, and FCP remission. These findings suggest that the MM-SES-CD can be used both to measure baseline endoscopic disease severity and predict outcomes at 1 year in patients with moderate to severe CD.
