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

backgroundFilgotinib, a JAK1-preferential inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in pivotal clinical trials for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC), leading to regulatory approvals. While emerging real-world studies provide short-term effectiveness data, comprehensive long-term evidence-particularly beyond 6 months-remains scarce, especially in heavily biologic-experienced populations.

aimTo evaluate the 12-month effectiveness, safety, and predictors of response to filgotinib in a real-world cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe UC treated across multiple centers in Andalusia, Spain.

methodsThis multicenter, ambispective observational study (FILGUITO registry) included 104 adults with moderate-to-severe UC initiating filgotinib therapy. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic data were collected at baseline and at 8 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months. Effectiveness outcomes included clinical remission (Mayo partial score < 3 with no subscore > 1 and no rectal bleeding), clinical-biochemical remission (clinical remission plus fecal calprotectin < 250 μg/g), and steroid-free remission (clinical remission with no corticosteroid courses from week 8). Safety was assessed through adverse event monitoring.

resultsThe median age was 40.7 years (IQR: 29.5-51.0), with 56.7% male patients. The majority (79.8%) had prior advanced therapy exposure, with a median of 1 prior biologic (IQR: 1-3). Clinical remission rates were 60.8% at 8 weeks, 61.4% at 6 months, and 60.3% at 12 months (all

conclusionFilgotinib demonstrates sustained clinical effectiveness and a favorable safety profile over 12 months in a real-world UC cohort with extensive prior biologic exposure. Effectiveness is optimized at earlier treatment lines, though meaningful benefit persists in heavily pre-treated populations.
