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

backgroundThe gut-brain axis has garnered increasing attention, with observational studies suggesting its involvement in the disease activity and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the precise mechanisms remain unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, we aimed to investigate "novel proteins" underlying IBD in the brain using a comprehensive multi-omics analysis approach. We performed integrated analyses of proteomics and transcriptomics in the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) tissue, coupled with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of IBD, crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). This included performing protein-wide association studies (PWAS), transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), Mendelian randomization (MR), and colocalization analysis to identify brain proteins associated with IBD and its subtypes.

resultsPWAS analyses identified and confirmation 9, 9, and 6 brain proteins strongly associated with IBD, CD, and UC, respectively. Subsequent MR analyses revealed that increased abundance of GPSM1, AUH, TYK2, SULT1A1, and FDPS, along with corresponding gene expression, led to decreased risk of IBD. For CD, increased abundance of FDPS, SULT1A1, and PDLIM4, along with corresponding gene expression, also decreased CD risk. Regarding UC, only increased abundance of AUH, along with corresponding gene expression, was significantly associated with decreased UC risk. Further TWAS and colocalization analyses at the transcriptome level supported strong associations of SULT1A1 and FDPS proteins with reduced risk of IBD and CD.

conclusionThe two "novel proteins," SULT1A1 and FDPS, are strongly associated with IBD and CD, elucidating their causal relationship in reducing the risk of IBD and CD. This provides new clues for identifying the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for IBD and CD.
