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

The pharmacokinetics (PK) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) during pregnancy remains poorly characterized, despite active inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) being the greatest risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. To quantify pregnancy-induced changes, vedolizumab concentrations from 39 pregnant patients on various dosing regimens were analyzed using a sequential albumin-trend/PK modeling approach, extending a published vedolizumab non-pregnancy model. Albumin trends were first characterized using a polynomial mixed-effect model. Then, individual changes in albumin from their pre-pregnancy concentrations, implemented as time-varying patient-influential factor (covariate) in the PK model, served as potential biomarker of pregnancy-induced plasma volume expansion. The modeling framework allowed model-informed imputation of missing covariate data, extraction of hemodilution effect, and estimation of pre-pregnancy PK parameters. Due to albumin change, the central volume of distribution increased 52.4%, consistent with known gestational plasma volume expansion, while clearance increased to 38.6%. An additional third-trimester effect of gestational age, potentially reflecting transplacental transfer, increased clearance by an additional 33.3 percentage points. These changes led to a 49.5% decline in vedolizumab trough concentrations (C
