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

Oxidative stress is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This meta-analysis aimed to identify and quantify the oxidative stress-related biomarkers in IBD and their associations with disease activity. We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science databases, identifying 54 studies for inclusion. Comparisons included: (i) active IBD versus healthy controls; (ii) inactive IBD versus healthy controls; (iii) active CD versus inactive CD; and (iv) active UC versus inactive UC. Our analysis revealed a significant accumulation of biomarkers of oxidative damage to biomacromolecules, coupled with reductions in various antioxidants, in both patients with active and inactive IBD compared to healthy controls. Additionally, we identified biomarkers that differentiate between active and inactive CD, including malondialdehyde, Paraoxonase 1, catalase, albumin, transferrin, and total antioxidant capacity. Similarly, levels of Paraoxonase 1, erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase, catalase, albumin, transferrin, and free thiols differed between active and inactive UC. Vitamins and carotenoids also emerged as potential disease activity biomarkers for CD and UC, but their intake should be monitored to obtain meaningful results. These findings emphasize the involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of IBD and highlight the potential of oxidative stress-related biomarkers as a minimally invasive and additional tool for monitoring the activity of IBD.
