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

Background: Contemporary characteristics of hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) may differ from historic standards in terms of prior drug exposure and disease severity. The impact of these differences on outcomes is unclear. This study aimed to assess inpatient UC outcomes according to prior outpatient drug exposure and measures of disease severity. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study of adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) hospitalized for severe UC. The primary outcome was the colectomy rate among outpatient advanced therapy exposed (ATE) vs advanced therapy naïve (ATN) patients. Secondary outcomes included length of hospitalization and need for rescue medical therapy. Results: A total of 370 patients were included with 86 (23%) in the ATE group and 284 (77%) in the ATN group. In the ATE group, 21 patients (25%) required colectomy vs 26 (9%) in the ATN group ( Conclusions: Outpatient ATE was associated with an increased risk of colectomy among hospitalized patients with severe UC. On multivariable analysis, low albumin was independently associated with the risk of colectomy. This suggests that higher colectomy rates observed in ATE patients may reflect underlying differences in disease severity.
