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

Itaconate (ITA) is a metabolite produced by immune cells such as macrophages during inflammation or infection. ITA exhibits potent immunomodulatory functions, antioxidant effects and antibacterial properties. The present study aimed to provide a systematic review of the synthesis and metabolic regulatory mechanisms of ITA and its key roles in intestinal diseases. ITA affects inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer (CRC), intestinal infection and other gut disorders via the regulation of signalling pathways, including the nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain‑like receptor protein 3 inflammasome, NF‑κB and Nrf2 pathways. ITA also modulates the composition of the gut microbiota and enhances intestinal barrier function. The present study also aimed to summarize the therapeutic potential of ITA derivatives, providing a theoretical basis for the development of novel treatment strategies for intestinal disease.
