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

backgroundCytokine signaling pathways play a central role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) have unique as well as overlapping phenotypes, susceptibility genes, and gene expression profiles. This study aimed to delineate patterns within cytokine signaling pathways in colonic mucosa of UC and CD patients, explore molecular diagnostic markers, and identify novel immune mediators in IBD pathogenesis.

methodsWe quantified 70 selected immune genes that are important in IBD signaling from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) colon biopsy samples from normal control subjects and UC and CD patients having either severe colitis or quiescent disease (n = 98 subjects). We utilized and validated a new modified real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique for gene quantification.

resultsExpression levels of signaling molecules including IL-6/10/12/13/17/23/33, STAT1/3/6, T-bet, GATA3, Foxp3, SOCS1/3, and downstream inflammatory mediators such as chemokines CCL-2/11/17/20, oxidative stress inducers, proteases, and mucosal genes were differentially regulated between UC and CD and between active and quiescent disease. We also document the possible role of novel genes in IBD, including SHP-1, IRF-1,TARC, Eotaxin, NOX2, arginase I, and ADAM 8.

conclusionsThis comprehensive approach to quantifying gene expression provides insights into the pathogenesis of IBD by elucidating distinct immune signaling networks in CD and UC. Furthermore, this is the first study demonstrating that gene expression profiling in FFPE colon biopsies might be a practical and effective tool in the diagnosis and prognosis of IBD and may help identify molecular markers that can predict and monitor response to individualized therapeutic treatments.
