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

Background: The relationship between nutritional indices and treatment response in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains poorly characterized. Objectives: To assess the discriminatory ability of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) in evaluating the clinical efficacy of vedolizumab (VDZ) in patients with moderate-to-severe UC. Design: A retrospective multicenter study. Methods: This study enrolled moderate-to-severe UC patients receiving VDZ at three centers in northern China from 2021 to 2025. The relationship between baseline nutritional indices and clinical remission, alongside conventional biomarkers, was analyzed. Discriminatory performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve (AUC) analysis. Results: A total of 184 patients were included. At week 14, multivariable logistic regression identified GNRI, PNI and MUST as factors significantly associated with clinical remission. GNRI showed the strongest correlation with clinical remission (r=0.340, Conclusions: Patients with lower nutritional risk-as reflected by higher GNRI and PNI scores, alongside lower MUST scores-were significantly more likely to achieve clinical remission at week 14.
