Omentin-1, a Protective Adipokine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by patients' high level of suffering. There is increasing evidence for involvement of the immune system in this disease. Adipokines have been reported to be critical immunoregulators in many clinical conditions, including gastrointestinal (GI) inflammatory diseases. Our study aimed to investigate associations of omentin-1 (a newly discovered adipokine) with IBS. Methods: In the current study, serum levels of omentin-1 were measured in 209 patients with IBS (including three subtypes) and 188 healthy controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The somatic symptoms of IBS were determined by the 5-item IBS symptoms severity score (IBS-SSS), quality of life (QOL) by 34-item IBS-QOL questionnaire, and psychological disorders by Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Visceral Sensitivity Index (VSI). Therapeutic effect of omentin-1 for IBS was investigated in a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced IBS mouse model. Results: We found that serum levels of omentin-1 were significantly decreased in patients with the diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) subtype (not the constipation or alternating subtype) compared to those in healthy subjects. Patients with lower serum omentin-1 levels suffered from higher severity of somatic symptoms (abdominal pain and distention, flatulence, rumbling), lower QOL, and worse psychological status. In a one-year follow-up, serum omentin-1 levels showed potential to reflect the disease progression. Additionally, lower omentin-1 levels were found to be accompanied with higher levels of serum pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in patients with IBS-D. Supplement of omentin-1 was protective against visceral hypersensitivity and mucosal inflammation in an IBS mouse model. Discussion: Our findings highlight the potential value of serum omentin-1 levels as an innovative biomarker in IBS, emphasizing its significance in improving clinical treatment and management of the disease.
