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 growing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has encouraged research efforts, which have contributed to gradual improvements in our understanding of IBD diagnosis and therapeutic approaches. The pathogenesis of IBD has not been fully elucidated; however, the combined actions of environmental, genetic, immune factors, and microbial organisms are believed to cause IBD. In the innate immune system, macrophages play important roles in maintaining intestinal health and in the development of IBD. Macrophages can be polarized from M0 into several phenotypes, among which M1 and M2 play critical roles in IBD development and the repair of intestinal homeostasis and damage. Certain macrophage-related IBD studies already exist; however, the functions of each phenotype have not been fully elucidated. As technology develops, understanding the link between macrophages and IBD has increased, including the growing knowledge of the developmental origins of intestinal macrophages and their performance of comprehensive functions. This review describes macrophage polarization in IBD from the perspectives of macrophage development and polarization, macrophage changes in homeostasis and IBD, metabolic changes, and the mechanisms of macrophage polarization in IBD. The discussion of these topics provides new insights into immunotherapy strategies for IBD. Video Abstract.
