Management of Ulcerative Colitis after Mesalamine-Induced Myocarditis: Successful Treatment with Upadacitinib - A Case Report.
Article in Inflammatory intestinal diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Mesalamine intolerance occurs in 5-10% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), while myocarditis is an extremely rare but potentially fatal complication. Optimal UC management after mesalamine-induced myocarditis remains unclear. Case Presentation: A man in his 30s with left-sided UC developed mesalamine-induced myocarditis 3 weeks after treatment initiation, confirmed by elevated troponin T, reduced ejection fraction (23%), and a positive drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test. Cardiac function improved with corticosteroids; however, UC relapsed during steroid tapering. After multidisciplinary discussion and shared decision-making, upadacitinib was selected considering potential cardiac risk with anti-TNF therapy and the need to minimize corticosteroid exposure. Rapid clinical improvement was observed, and complete mucosal healing (Mayo endoscopic subscore 0) was confirmed at 6-month follow-up colonoscopy. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of UC complicated by mesalamine-induced myocarditis successfully treated with upadacitinib. Janus kinase inhibitors may represent a therapeutic option when conventional biologics are unsuitable in patients with severe mesalamine intolerance.
