Toward Precision Medicine: Molecular Biomarkers of Response to Tofacitinib in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC), a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition that significantly impairs the patient's quality of life. While biologics have transformed disease management, a substantial number of patients remain unresponsive or lose efficacy over time. Tofacitinib (TOFA), an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, introduces a novel therapeutic class of small-molecule drugs with a unique oral administration route, offering enhanced patient convenience and broader accessibility compared to parenterally administered biologics. As the first oral treatment approved for moderate to severe UC in years, TOFA acts by modulating the JAK/STAT pathway, influencing critical inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, IL-17, and IFN-γ. However, response rates are variable and appear dose-dependent, with up to 60% of patients showing inadequate therapeutic outcomes. This review represents the first comprehensive synthesis focused specifically on biomarkers of TOFA response in UC. Drawing on multi-omics data-epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cellular profiling, we highlight emerging predictors of responsiveness, including CpG methylation signatures (e.g.,
