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

backgroundSyndecan-1 plays a central role in maintaining normal intestinal barrier function. Shedding of syndecan-1, reflected by soluble syndecan-1 serum concentrations, is highly regulated by inflammation.

aimTo determine soluble syndecan-1 levels in inflammatory bowel disease patients and its relationship with other inflammatory markers, disease activity, and medical treatment.

methodsCross-sectional, pilot study in which serum concentrations of soluble syndecan-1 were analyzed by ELISA in a cohort of 41 inflammatory bowel disease patients (22 Crohn's disease, 19 ulcerative colitis) and 16 healthy controls. Disease activity was estimated by the Crohn's disease activity index, partial Mayo score, and C-reactive protein.

resultsSoluble syndecan-1 levels were significantly higher in inflammatory bowel disease patients compared to healthy controls (29.5 ± 13.4 vs. 21.1 ± 10.4 ng/ml, respectively, P = 0.03). Soluble syndecan-1 displayed a reliable ability to discriminate inflammatory bowel disease patients from healthy controls with a sensitivity of 95 %, specificity of 50 %, and positive predictive value of 83 %. Patients treated with anti-inflammatory medications demonstrated significantly lower soluble syndecan-1 levels compared to untreated patients (26.45 ± 9.75 vs. 38 ± 18.43 ng/ml, respectively, P = 0.008).

conclusionsOur results suggest that soluble syndecan-1 is potentially a novel diagnostic marker in the management of inflammatory bowel disease patients. Its applicability as a surrogate, prognostic biomarker remains to be determined.
