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

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated condition that remains challenging to manage. S1P receptor modulators offer a novel therapeutic approach by targeting immune cell trafficking, potentially improving disease outcomes. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library major electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating S1P receptor modulators in IBD. Clinical outcomes assessed included clinical remission, clinical response, endoscopic improvement, histologic remission, and serious adverse events. Pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a fixed-effects model. Results: Seven RCTs with a total of 2,597 patients were included. S1P receptor modulators significantly improved clinical remission (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.21-1.84, p < 0.001), histologic remission (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.31-2.31, p < 0.001), endoscopic improvement (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.23-2.04, p < 0.001), and clinical response (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.05-1.54, p = 0.01). The risk of serious adverse events did not significantly differ between treatment and placebo groups (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.92-1.80, p = 0.14), suggesting a favorable safety profile. Conclusion: This meta-analysis supports S1P receptor modulators, particularly ozanimod and etrasimod, as effective and safe treatments for UC. Further studies are needed to assess long-term safety and direct comparisons with existing biologic therapies.
