The Reg protein family: potential new targets for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
Review in Frontiers in gastroenterology (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 disease (IBD) comprises Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), both characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and an elevated risk of colorectal cancer due to persistent inflammation. The Regenerating gene (Reg) family proteins exhibit properties that promote cell proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, reduce inflammation, combat microbial infections, and potentially modulate the immune system. There is increasing evidence of the potential function of the Reg family of proteins in the development of IBD and colorectal cancer, but the exact mechanism of action of the Reg family of proteins has not yet been fully clarified. In this paper, we reviewed the Reg protein family's involvement in the development of IBD by regulating intestinal microbes and immunity to maintain intestinal homeostasis. We also explored its possible regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways in the progression and treatment of colorectal cancer, which is expected to serve as a target and a new biomarker for the treatment of IBD and colorectal cancer in the future.
