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

backgroundIBS is multifactorial; however, elucidating its underlying mechanisms is crucial for advancing in its diagnosis and management.

aimsEvaluate molecular processes related to oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation in IBS and its subtypes.

methodsThirty Rome III-IBS outpatients and 30 controls were studied for OS biomarkers, including malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyls (PC), reduced glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Also, serum interleukins (IL-10, IL-4, TNF-α, IL-6), and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) catalytic subunit gp91

resultsIn IBS vs. controls there were higher MDA: 4.44 ± 1.76 vs. 2.42 ± 0.5 nmol/mg/protein (p < 0.01); GSSG: 57.17 ± 17.49 vs. 42.73 ± 14.26 μM (p < 0.01); and lower GSH: 26.17 ± 12.36 vs. 38.47 ± 16.71 μM (p < 0.01). Also, an imbalance in pro- and anti-inflammatory interleukins (p < 0.01); and higher NF-κB: 5.33 ± 3.39 vs. 3.08 ± 1.19 (p = 0.01); gp91

conclusionsThe data demonstrate an alteration in the homeostasis of the cellular redox state in IBS. Also, in IBS-D, the antioxidant effect counteracts the low-grade inflammation, whereas in IBS-C, it is mainly driven by interleukins.
