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

purposesTo explorer the serum level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the patients of ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel disease. And analyze the correlation between the cytokine's levels and disease's activity of ulcerative colitis patients.

methodsSerum cytokines of ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea patients including IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, TNF-α and TGF-β were analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and ulcerative colitis activity were assessed by Mayo scoring system. The correlation of the serum level of cytokines and ulcerative colitis activity were analyzed by the SPSS 19.0 software.

resultsCompared with healthy people, the serum level of IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, TNF-α and TGF-β were elevated in ulcerative colitis patients. There is no direct correlation between each cytokines analyzed and the Mayo score. And the level of IL-6 is relevant to IL-13 (r=0.364, P=0.029), and the level of IL-17 is relevant to TGF-β (r=0.336, P=0.045).

conclusionWhen the pro-inflammatory cytokines increase in the serum of ulcerative colitis, the anti-inflammatory cytokines were increased concomitantly, Some cytokines are positive correlated, such as IL-6 and IL-13, IL-17 and TGF-β, the mechanism of which is complex and needs further investigation.
