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

aimTo study the serum concentration of IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and IL-18 in Galphai2-deficient mice at the age of 6 (healthy), 12 (pre-colitic) and 24 wk (colitic) and in healthy control mice.

methodsAt the time of killing, serum samples were collected and IL-1beta, IL-1Ra and IL-18 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

resultsSerum concentration of IL-1Ra was significantly increased in pre-colitic (median: 524 ng/L; P=0.02) and colitic (450 ng/L; P=0.01), but not in healthy (196 ng/L) Galphai2-deficient mice as compared with controls (217 ng/L). Serum concentrations of IL-1beta did not differ between Galphai2-deficient mice and their controls, irrespective of age, IL-18 was significantly increased in colitic, but not in pre-colitic mice compared with controls (510 ng/L vs 190 ng/L; P=0.05).

conclusionThe increased serum concentrations of IL-18 and IL-1Ra in established diseases are suggested as markers of ongoing colitis. Interestingly, the significantly increased serum concentration of IL-1Ra in pre-colitic mice is found to be an early marker of disease progression.
