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

backgroundVedolizumab (VDZ) is a key biologic for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC), but therapeutic response varies widely among patients. The combined predictive value of computed tomography (CT)-derived body composition (

aimTo develop a predictive model for VDZ response in moderate-to-severe UC patients, based on CT-derived body composition and nutritional/inflammatory markers, and to clarify their clinical implications.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on UC patients treated with VDZ at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. CT images were analyzed to quantify intramuscular adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mass. Clinical data including CRP levels and hemoglobin (HB) were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of treatment response, and a predictive model was constructed.

resultsIMAT accumulation (odds ratio = 2.35, 95% confidence interval: 1.21-4.57,

conclusionThis study demonstrates that CT-derived body composition parameters (IMAT and skeletal muscle mass), combined with inflammatory markers (CRP) and HB levels, can effectively predict VDZ response in UC patients. The predictive model we developed offers a practical tool for identifying high-risk non-responders early, enabling clinicians to optimize individualized treatment strategies and improve clinical outcomes.
