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

As the importance of the brain-gut axis in the pathobiology of inflammatory bowel disease continues to evolve, a greater understanding of brain structure and brain functional connectivity (FC) in diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) are necessary. In this magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, we investigated differences in brain structure and in FC of brain regions in 76 participants with UC and 74 healthy controls (HC). Voxel based morphometry analysis indicated greater grey matter volume in multiple brain regions in UC as compared to HC. Differences in FC between groups were identified in the cerebellar, default mode, visual, and dorsal attention networks. FC differed by sex for the visual and dorsal attention networks. These differences provide evidence that the brain-gut axis is altered in UC and warrant further investigation to determine if they help direct the evolution of UC or if they evolve in response to the presence of UC.
