IFN-γ is a direct driver of crypt hyperplasia in celiac disease.

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
Crypt hyperplasia is a key feature of celiac disease (CeD) and several other small intestinal inflammatory conditions. Analysis of the gut epithelial crypt zone by mass spectrometry-based tissue proteomics revealed a strong IFN-γ signal in active CeD. This signal, hallmarked by increased expression of MHC molecules, was paralleled by diminished expression of proteins associated with fatty acid metabolism. Crypt hyperplasia and the same proteomic changes were observed in WT mice administered IFN-γ. In mice with conditional KO of the IFN-γ receptor in gut epithelial cells, these signature morphological and proteomic changes were not induced with IFN-γ administration. IFN-γ was thus a driver of crypt hyperplasia in CeD by acting directly on crypt epithelial cells. The results are relevant to other enteropathies with involvement of IFN-γ.
