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

aimIn this study, we determined the gene expression analysis of IL-17 gene family for early detection of subclinical inflammation among IBD patients.

backgroundCytokines have a vital role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Interleukin-17 is the signature cytokine of the recently identified T helper 17 (Th17) cell subset. IL-17F is mainly involved in mucosal host defense mechanisms whereas the functions of IL-17B remain largely elusive.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, IBD patients divided into two active and inactive groups. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 38 IBD patients which 20 inactive samples and 18 active individuals were collected. Changes of IL-17 F and IL-17B mRNA expression level evaluated by quantitative-real time-PCR.

resultsmRNA expression level of IL-17B and IL-17F in CD, UC, active and inactive groups have been assessed and there were no significant differences (P>0.05). Patients were classified into five different categories as follows: i) 5ASA; ii) 5ASA + Pred; iii) 5ASA + AZA; iv) 5ASA + Pred + AZA; v) 5ASA + Pred + AZA + IFX according to medication usage, expression of IL-17F and IL-17B had no differences (p>0.05).

conclusionEvaluation of IL-17B and IL-17F mRNA expression level illustrate no difference among active and inactive patients. Therefore, IL-17B and IL-17F are not biomarkers in an Iranian IBD patients.
