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

The goal of ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment has recently been shown to be "mucosal healing," as no drug directly induces mucosal healing. Probiotics possess sufficient safety, but their efficacy in the treatment of UC remains controversial because of the influence of intestinal conditions. It is believed that the identification of bioactive molecules produced by probiotics and their application will help to solve this issue. We therefore identified a probiotic-derived long-chain polyphosphate as a molecule enhancing the intestinal barrier function. This study demonstrated that long-chain polyphosphate exhibited antiinflammatory effects in a human macrophage and interleukin-10 knockout transfusion mouse model. The first-in-human trial showed that 7 of the 10 enrolled patients acquired clinical remission, 4 of whom achieved endoscopic remission despite a history of treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α agents. No adverse reactions were observed. Long-chain polyphosphate might be useful for the treatment of refractory UC, even in patients with failure or intolerance to anti-TNF-α therapy.
