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: Lymphocytes play a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are widely explored as promising prognostic indicators. We aimed to outline the existing evidences on the capability of lymphocyte subpopulations to predict disease progression and treatment response in patients with IBD. Methods: The protocol for this review was registered in PROSPERO (registration ID: CRD 42022364126). Systematic retrieval was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Original articles on the prognostic value of lymphocyte subsets in IBD published up to April 8, 2023 were eligible for inclusion. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias. Results: Twenty studies were ultimately included: eight evaluated the prediction of disease progression and 12 focused on the prediction of treatment response. According to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, three studies were of high quality, 16 were of moderate quality, and only one was of low quality. T-cell subpopulations, including CD4 Conclusions: This systematic review identified several potential lymphocyte subset-related predictors. If verified in large cohort prospective studies, these findings could aid clinical decision-making. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022364126.
