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: Treatment guidance and real-world data assessing the management and burden of isolated proctitis (IP) are limited. Objective: We aimed to understand disease burden in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with different degrees of disease extension, focusing on IP. Design: A cross-sectional survey, with retrospective data collection, of physicians and their consulting patients was conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States between January 2020 and March 2021. Methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Real World UC Disease Specific Programme™. Physicians reported clinical presentation and treatment history for patients with UC. Patients were stratified according to their disease extension into IP (non-refractory (never received an immunomodulator (IM)/advanced therapy (AT)) or refractory (received an IM/AT)) and more extensive UC (MEUC) groups. Analyses were descriptive. Results: Among patients with IP ( Conclusion: Patients with IP experienced a range of symptoms, with many requiring treatment beyond the guideline-recommended first-line conventional therapies. In addition, the majority of IP patients with IM and/or AT experience were not in remission.
