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

backgroundTumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), among cytokines that mediate the inflammatory process, plays an important role in diseases involving the loss of intestinal barrier integrity. Several molecules with anti-TNF-alpha activity have been studied aiming to develop new therapies. The purpose of this paper is to describe the systematic review protocol of experimental studies that determine mechanisms of action of molecules with anti-TNF-alpha activity on intestinal barrier inflammation.

methodsThis protocol is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes Protocols (PRISMA-P). The databases to be searched are PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Experimental studies in rats or mice that assessed the activity of anti-TNF-alpha molecules in models of intestinal barrier inflammation will be included in the systematic review. Studies characteristics, experimental model, and main results will be described and the bias risk assessment will be performed. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment. A narrative synthesis will be made for the included studies. Also, if sufficient data is available, a meta-analysis will be conducted. I statistics will be used to assess heterogeneity.

resultsThe present protocol will assist in producing a systematic review that identifies the mechanisms underlying the reduction of TNF-alpha in intestinal barrier inflammation models.

conclusionThe systematic review may contribute to the theoretical basis of research on new molecules with anti-TNF-alpha potential and, consequently, in the development of new therapies employed in humans. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019131862.
