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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Infliximab and adalimumab are effective anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies for the treatment of pediatric Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of infliximab and adalimumab in a real-world cohort of children with CD. Methods: Data from biological-naïve children with luminal CD (age 3-18 years) who commenced anti-TNF and completed at least 1 year of follow-up were collected from the prospective multicenter observational PIBD-SETQuality study. The primary outcome was steroid-free clinical remission (SFCR), defined as clinical remission (weighted pediatric Crohn's disease activity index [wPCDAI] <12.5) without systemic steroids or luminal surgery at 1 year. The relative risk (RR) of SFCR was calculated using standardization, correcting for the following baseline covariates: age, upfront anti-TNF, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, albumin, leukocytes, disease behavior, wPCDAI, perianal disease, and concomitant immunomodulator use. Secondary outcomes included the durability of anti-TNF treatment without luminal surgery. Results: Between January 1, 2017, and June 14, 2024, 178 patients with anti-TNF were included (infliximab: Conclusions: In this prospective cohort of children with CD, adalimumab and infliximab showed comparable clinical effectiveness 1 year after the start of anti-TNF treatment. Clinical trial registration: The ClincalTrials.gov ID of this study is NCT03571373.
