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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U), are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Chronic inflammation in the course of IBD is an important initiating factor of fibrosis of the intestinal wall. Intestinal fibrosis is one of the most common and important complications of IBD and, due to the irreversibility of the process and the need for surgical treatment, currently poses a major clinical challenge. In this review, we presented in detail the process of intestinal wall fibrosis at the molecular, immunological, and clinical levels. We characterized the mediators, including transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and others participating in this process. We also described the type 2 epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process closely associated with chronic inflammation, leading to excessive development of connective tissue in the intestinal wall in the course of IBD.
