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 an umbrella term for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In light of evolving epidemiology of CD, its clinical management is still complex and remains a challenge for contemporary physicians. With the advent of new diagnostic and treatment paradigms, there is a growing need for new biomarkers to guide decision-making, differential diagnosis, disease activity monitoring, as well as prognosis. However, both clinical and endoscopic scoring systems, widely utilized for disease monitoring and prognosis, have drawbacks and limitations. In recent years, biochemical peptides have become available for IBD monitoring and more frequently used as surrogate markers of gut inflammation. Emerging concepts that revolve around molecular, stem cell, epigenetic, microbial or metabolomic pathways associated with vascular and epithelial gut barrier could lead to development of new CD biomarkers. Measurement of cell-derived microvesicles (MVs) in the blood of IBD patients is another emerging concept helpful in future disease management. In this review, we discuss novel concepts of non-invasive biomarkers, which may become useful in monitoring of CD activity and prognosis. We discuss metabolomics as a new powerful tool for clinicians to guide differential IBD diagnosis. In the coming years, new developments of prognostic tools are expected, aiming for breakthroughs in the management of patients with CD.
