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

Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by various cytokine patterns. In this study, we aimed to investigate the markers that can distinguish Th1/Th2 cytokines in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods and Results: In patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated at our hospital, the Th1/Th2 ratio (interferon-γ/interleukin-4 ratio), serum immunoglobulin E level, leucine-rich alpha 2 glycoprotein level, serum amyloid A level, and leukocyte fraction were measured simultaneously, and the relationship between them was examined. We enrolled 108 patients with Crohn's disease and 153 patients with ulcerative colitis. No significant difference was observed in the Th1/Th2 ratio between the ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease groups. In the inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease groups, the lymphocyte fraction was significantly correlated with the Th1/Th2 ratio ( Conclusions: The lymphocyte fraction may serve as a marker of Th1/Th2 cytokines and could be particularly useful in non-steroid-treated patients.
