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

introductionColonic fibrosis is a long-term complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often leading to functional impairment, intestinal obstruction, and surgery. Adiponectin (APN) is an adipokine derived from adipocytes that plays a pleiotropic role in fibrosis regulation, depending on tissue and cell type specific or disease context, but its role in colonic fibrosis remains unclear.

objectiveTo explore the role and involved mechanism of APN in chronic colitis-associated colonic fibrosis.

methodsStudies were performed in GEO database, colonic tissues of UC patients, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic fibrosis in male wild-type (WT) and APN

resultsAPN was highly expressed in the colonic tissues of UC patients and positively correlated with the colonoscopy score and colonic fibrosis markers COL1A1 and COL3A1. APN deficiency significantly improved chronic colitis-induced colonic fibrosis in mice with down-regulating collagenase accumulation and expressions of TGF-β, α-SMA, COL1A1, COL3A1, and MMP-9 in colonic tissues. Transcriptomics showed that APN deficiency mainly affected cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, especially CXCL13 signaling. Follow-up studies showed that APN deficiency significantly decreased the number of colonic F4/80

conclusionAPN contributes to the progression of colonic fibrosis and can exacerbate this condition by regulating the secretion of CXCL13 in the colon, offering potential new perspectives on the pathophysiology of colonic fibrosis.
