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

Evidence for upadacitinib in ulcerative colitis (UC) after tofacitinib failure is limited, with unclear long-term outcomes. A single-centre retrospective case series at a Canadian tertiary hospital included adult UC patients who lost response to tofacitinib and were subsequently treated with upadacitinib (January 2016 to March 2024). Nine patients, who failed a median of four therapies, received upadacitinib. Eight completed induction, and four archived steroid-free clinical remission during maintenance, supported by endoscopic and histologic improvement. Durable remission beyond one year was observed in these four patients, suggesting that upadacitinib may be effective in a subset of patients after tofacitinib failure.
