Induction of Endoscopic Response, Remission, and Ulcer-Free Endoscopy With Upadacitinib Is Associated With Improved Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients With Crohn's Disease.

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.

Abstract
backgroundWe evaluated the association of achieving endoscopic outcomes at week 12 of induction with improvements in clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) at week 52 of maintenance in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) treated with upadacitinib (UPA).
methodsThis post hoc analysis evaluated data from 2 phase 3 induction trials (NCT03345836 and NCT03345849) and 1 maintenance (NCT03345823) trial. Clinical responders to 12-week induction therapy with UPA who also received 52-week maintenance treatment with UPA were included. Endoscopic response, remission, healing, and ulcer-free endoscopy were assessed at week 12. Meaningful improvements in clinical and QoL outcomes were evaluated at week 52.
resultsA significantly greater proportion of patients who achieved an endoscopic response at the end of induction, compared with patients who did not, attained Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) remission (52.0% vs 34.6%; P ≤ .01), corticosteroid-free CDAI remission (50.0% vs 30.9%), Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire remission (52.6% vs 30.3%), and meaningful improvements in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue response (46.7% vs 25.9%), overall work impairment (47.1% vs 26.5%), and daily activity impairment (53.3% vs 34.1%) (all P < .05) at week 52. Similar findings were observed for patients who achieved endoscopic remission, endoscopic healing, and ulcer-free endoscopy at the end of induction vs those who did not.
conclusionsEarly improvement in endoscopic outcomes after UPA induction treatment was associated with long-term meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes and QoL in patients with CD. CLINICAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: U-EXCEED induction trial (NCT03345836), U-EXCEL induction trial (NCT03345849), and U-ENDURE maintenance trial (NCT03345823).
