Crohn's disease exacerbated by ghost pills of upadacitinib.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The patient, a woman in her 40 s, was diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) of the small and large intestine, for which she had been treated for 30 years. The disease activity was difficult to control with infliximab. She underwent multiple surgical procedures, including partial resection of the small intestine and colostomy. She was subsequently introduced to several biologic agents, including adalimumab, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab: All failed to maintain long-term endoscopic and clinical remission. She was introduced to upadacitinib (UPA), but her disease worsened because of the so-called ghost pill phenomenon, by which pills are ejected directly into a pouch through the colostomy because of her short bowel after surgery, which prevented therapeutic efficacy. When using an extended-release agent such as UPA in patients with CD, the patient's gastrointestinal condition must be considered. Moreover, appropriate information must be shared with other health care professionals.
