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

BACKGROUND &

aimsIdentifying new approaches to lessen inflammation, as well as the associated malignant consequences, remains crucial to improving the lives and prognosis of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases. Although it previously has been suggested as a suitable biomarker for monitoring disease activity in patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease, the role of the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) in inflammatory bowel disease remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess the role of SAA in colitis-associated cancer.

methodsWe established a model of colitis-associated cancer in wild-type and SAA double-knockout (Saa1/2

resultsWe observed attenuated disease activity in mice deficient for Saa1/2 as evidenced by decreased weight loss, increased stool consistency, decreased rectal bleeding, and decreased colitis-associated tissue damage. Macrophage infiltration, including CD206

conclusionBased on these findings, we conclude that SAA has an active role in inflammatory bowel disease and that it could serve as a therapeutic target aimed at decreasing chronic inflammation and the associated risk of developing colitis-associated cancer.
