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

Extensive research has investigated the etiology of Crohn's disease (CD), encompassing genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, and environmental triggers. Recently, the gut microbiome, recognized as the human body's second-largest gene pool, has garnered significant attention for its crucial role in the pathogenesis of CD. This paper investigates the mechanisms underlying CD, focusing on the role of 'creeping fat' in disease progression and exploring emerging therapeutic strategies, including fecal microbiota transplantation, enteral nutrition, and therapeutic diets. Creeping fat has been identified as a unique pathological feature of CD and has recently been found to be associated with dysbiosis of the gut microbiome. We characterize this dysbiotic state by identifying key microbiome-bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea, and their contributions to CD pathogenesis. Additionally, this paper reviews contemporary therapies, emphasizing the potential of biological therapies like fecal microbiota transplantation and dietary interventions. By elucidating the complex interactions between host-microbiome dynamics and CD pathology, this article aims to advance our understanding of the disease and guide the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for managing CD.
