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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with marked molecular heterogeneity, resulting in highly variable responses to biologic therapies. Despite the efficacy of Infliximab (IFX), many patients fail to achieve sustained remission. Identifying biomarkers predictive of treatment response is essential for advancing precision medicine in UC. Gene expression profiling of colonic mucosal biopsies from IFX responders, IFX non-responders, and healthy controls was performed using a multiplex array, followed by technical confirmation by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical assessment to further characterize tissue expression and biological relevance. IFX non-responders displayed a stromal-immune molecular signature marked by extracellular matrix remodeling, stromal remodeling, integrin-mediated signaling, and persistent inflammatory pathways.
