Real-world outcomes of subcutaneous infliximab in a Middle Eastern inflammatory bowel disease cohort: a prospective study of switch and de novo treatment strategies.

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.
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: Subcutaneous (SC) infliximab offers pharmacokinetic and convenience advantages over intravenous (IV) therapy, but real-world data from the Middle East are lacking. This study evaluated SC infliximab outcomes in a prospective middle eastern inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted in the United Arab Emirates. Adult IBD patients were enrolled as switchers (transitioning from stable IV to SC infliximab 120 or 240 mg Q2W) or new starters (SC 120 mg Q2W following IV induction). Clinical outcomes and pharmacokinetics were assessed. Results: Fifty-eight patients were included (33 switchers [10 receiving 120 mg Q2W, 23 receiving 240 mg Q2W] and 25 new starters), with median follow-up of 10.1 months (interquartile range [IQR] 7.3-12.9). In the switcher cohort, 90.9% maintained clinical remission post-switch, with stable C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, and fecal calprotectin, and significant increases in median trough concentrations: 9.5-20.0 mcg/mL in the 120 mg group ( Conclusions: SC infliximab is effective for both switching and de novo IBD management in a middle eastern population, delivering high clinical remission rates, robust drug exposure, and durable treatment persistence.
