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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are multifactorial disorders characterised by the host's inability to limit the inflammatory response to luminal antigens. The association of polymorphisms in the CARD15 gene with Crohn's disease (CD) demonstrates the relevance of activated transcription factor NF(kappa)B in mononuclear cells. Interleukin 11 (IL11) mediates anti-inflammatory effects and is able to downregulate LPS-induced NF(kappa)B activation. The IL11 gene is therefore a good candidate involved in genetic predisposition to IBD. To evaluate the role of the IL11 gene in IBD, two polymorphisms, including a dinucleotide repeat in the promoter region, have been genotyped in 222 patients with CD, 152 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 400 healthy controls. PCR-SSCP analysis of the coding region revealed a single polymorphism in exon 4 leading to an amino acid exchange (G335A; R112H), not significantly associated with either disease. Dinucleotide repeat frequencies of the IL11.A1 allele and of IL11.A1 homozygous individuals were significantly increased among the patients with UC (P < 0.002 and (P < 0.003, respectively) but not with CD. Altered expression of IL11 appears to be involved in the genetic predisposition of UC.
