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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a debilitating disorder involving inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of IBD is increasing worldwide. Immunological responses in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to altered gut microbiota, mucosal injury and loss of intestinal epithelial cell function all contribute to a complex mechanism underlying IBD pathogenesis. Immune cell infiltration, particularly neutrophils, is a histological feature of IBD. This innate immune response is aimed at resolving intestinal damage however, neutrophils and monocytes that are recruited and accumulate in the GI wall, participate in IBD pathogenesis by producing inflammatory cytokines and soluble mediators such as reactive oxygen species (ROS; one- and two-electron oxidants). Unregulated ROS production in host tissue is linked to oxidative damage and inflammation and may potentiate mucosal injury. Neutrophil-myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an abundant granule enzyme that catalyses production of potent ROS; biomarkers of oxidative damage (and MPO protein) are increased in the mucosa of patients with IBD. Targeting MPO may mitigate oxidative damage to host tissue and ensuing inflammation. Here we identify mechanisms by which MPO activity perpetuates inflammation and contributes to host-tissue injury in patients with IBD and discuss MPO as a potential therapeutic target to protect the colon from inflammatory injury.
