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

Advances in understanding pathogenesis and developing new therapies are hastened by the use of effective animal models of disease. In inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease, a variety of models have been used, including the IL-10 knockout mouse. However, in order to be truly valuable, the models need to respond to existing therapy in a way which resembles the human disease. In the light of recent developments, in which refractory Crohn's disease responds well to anti-TNF antibody therapy, we set out to validate the IL-10 knockout model of Crohn's disease by examining its response to anti-TNF therapy. We developed a new scoring system for IL-10 knockout mice, similar to the Crohn's Disease Activity Index in humans, analysed stool samples for cytokines and compared the findings with histology. We found that anti-TNF antibody therapy starting at 4 weeks markedly ameliorated the disease, as judged by the clinical score or by histological analysis of the gut. Furthermore, analysis of stool samples for cytokines revealed a marked diminution of inflammatory cytokines, adding a further accurate measure of the improvement. This model may thus be useful for evaluating other therapeutic modalities of relevance to Crohn's disease.
