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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by immune dysregulation, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and microbial imbalance. Despite progress in biologic therapies, challenges such as variable efficacy, systemic side effects, and the lack of reliable biomarkers remain significant obstacles in clinical management. Exosomes, key mediators of intercellular communication, play a pivotal role in IBD's pathogenesis by transporting bioactive substances. Increasing evidence links exosomes to critical IBD processes, including Th17/Treg imbalance, inflammasome activation, and host-microbiome interactions. Exosomes also show potential as minimally invasive biomarkers for disease activity and subtype differentiation. Furthermore, advancements in exosome engineering, including surface modification and hybrid nanostructure development, enhance their potential for targeted drug delivery and immune modulation in IBD. This review summarizes the role of exosomes in IBD, their diagnostic potential, and emerging exosome-based therapeutic strategies.
