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

Changes in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, inflammation, blood coagulation factors and intestinal mucosal permeability in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC) were investigated. A total of 50 active UC patients treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the UC group, whereas 50 normal subjects receiving physical examination were selected as the control group. Venous blood was drawn to detect the content of early predictors, C-reactive protein (CRP), follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) and D-dimer in serum. The disease activity index (DAI) score was recorded in both groups, the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were determined, and the inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were also detected. Moreover, the blood coagulation factors, platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen level were detected, the content of lactulose (L) and mannitol (M) in the urine after oral administration of L and M test liquid was determined via high-performance liquid chromatography in both groups, and the L/M ratio was calculated. In UC group, the content of CRP, FSTL1 and D-dimer was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The DAI score was significantly higher (P<0.05), the content of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was remarkably raised (P<0.05), the platelet count, PT, APTT and fibrinogen level were all obviously increased (P<0.05), and the L/M ratio was notably lower (P<0.05) in the UC group than in the control group. In patients with active UC, MMP-2, MMP-9 and inflammatory factors were significantly increased, and there were changes in the blood coagulation factors and intestinal mucosal permeability, which further promote the occurrence and development of UC.
