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

Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) and acute severe Crohn's disease (CD) flare are potentially life-threatening conditions, for which treatment remains a clinical challenge. Currently available therapeutic options present limited efficacy, with a high rate of colectomy as the final-line treatment method. Therefore, new alternatives of rescue therapy in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are constantly sought. Upadacitinib (UPA), a selective Janus kinase-1 (JAK1) inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) and CD. Interestingly, the most recent data show an increasing off-label use of this medication in the management of acute severe colitis. We present a comprehensive review focusing on rescue therapy with UPA in IBD, both UC and CD. The article examines the outcomes of recent studies evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of UPA treatment in adult patients with ASUC and severe CD flare, a new treatment strategy.
