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

backgroundDespite advances in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), some patients remain refractory to the currently available treatments. Dual biologic therapy (DBT) has emerged as a promising strategy for these patients. CASE SUMMARY: A patient with extensive UC presented with steroid dependence and contraindications (past medical history included breast cancer and previous myocardial infarction) to treatment with tumor necrosis factor and Janus kinase inhibitors. DBT of α4β7 integrin antagonist (vedolizumab) and interleukin 23p19 inhibitor (mirikizumab) resulted in a sustained clinical and biochemical remission. No adverse events were recorded during the follow-up.

conclusionThis case highlighted the challenge of managing refractory UC, especially in frail patients.
