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

purpose of reviewIntestinal fibrosis is a serious, yet common, outcome in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite advances in developing novel treatment modalities to control chronic gut inflammation characteristic of IBD, no effective antifibrotic therapies exist to date. As such, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying intestinal fibrosis and the availability of relevant animal models are critical to move this area of investigation forward. RECENT

findingsEmerging concepts in the pathogenesis of intestinal fibrosis include the central role of interleukin (IL)-17 and Th17 immune responses, although their precise contribution to chronic inflammation and IBD remains controversial. Other novel mediators of intestinal fibrosis, such as tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A and components of the renin-angiotensin system, support the importance of IL-17. Additionally, recent studies utilizing novel mouse models highlight the significance of the gut microbiota and link components of bacterial sensing, including nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2, to IL-17/Th17 immune responses in the development of inflammation-associated intestinal fibrosis. SUMMARY: Recent progress in identifying key mediators, novel animal models, and important mechanistic pathways in the pathogenesis of intestinal fibrosis holds promise for the development of effective antifibrotics in an area of significant, unmet clinical need.
