Abstract
A single center retrospective clinical study revealed the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). This study has clinical reference value but also has some limitations. Previous studies, including this clinical trial, have shown that tofacitinib could be a promising treatment option for UC, but further clinical research is required to prove this point.
