Metabolic network analysis of Crohn's disease reveals sex- and age-specific cellular phenotypes.
Article in Cell systems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory gastrointestinal disease affecting approximately 1 in 1,000 people in North America. Incidence of pediatric CD has been rising in recent decades, and this group is especially at risk of more severe disease development because of the association of CD with developmental deficits. Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) present an opportunity to investigate systems-level changes in metabolism in specific contexts, such as pediatric CD. In this work, we utilized pediatric and adult omics data to create an ileum-specific GEM, Ileum1. We also developed reaction inclusion analysis (RIA) to quantify broad metabolic differences of several clinical cohorts and used this method to compare hundreds of subject-specific GEMs. RIA predicted altered cholesterol metabolism in males with CD, and in vitro testing found that cholesterol synthesis inhibition prevented an increase of inflammatory cytokines. We used transcriptomics from adult subjects and found that metabolism is uniquely altered in adult CD. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the supplemental information.
