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

Determining how the profile of immune cells varies with their disease subtypes and across lesion locations is critical for understanding the pathogenesis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). To that end, we herein combined the IBD TaMMA framework and the CIBERSORT pipeline to deconvolute the large amount of RNA-seq data from patients with IBD (both CD and UC were included) and healthy human controls across 28 cohorts (a total of 3,852 samples) while accommodating data heterogeneity across cohorts, to define the immune cell landscape of IBD. Our study uncovered that both absolute quantities of innate and adaptive immune cell populations were elevated in most intestinal regions of IBD patients, yet disease-specific (CD versus UC) and intestinal location (ileum, colon, and rectum)-specific features. In the ileum, the increase in innate immune cells was more pronounced in CD than UC. In contrast, innate and adaptive immune cells were elevated more drastically in the UC than CD in the rectum. Such revelation of immune signatures across the highly variable IBD phenotypes (in both disease subtypes and intestinal regions) underpins differential immune-pathophysiological mechanisms in IBD pathogenesis and therefore serves as a resource for the development of future targeted studies.
