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

backgroundVitamin D plays a vital role in modulating both innate and adaptive immune systems. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with higher levels of autoimmune response and increased susceptibility to infections.

methodsWe used two cell culture models of THP-1 macrophages and Caco-2 monolayers to establish the effects of MAP infection on the vitamin D metabolic axis. We also tested the effects of Calcifediol, Calcitriol, and SB203580 treatments on the relative expression of the vitamin D metabolic genes, oxidative stress biomarkers, and inflammatory cytokines profile.

resultsIn this study, we found that MAP infection interferes with vitamin D activation inside THP-1 macrophages by reducing levels of

conclusionsThis study characterized the primary mechanism by which MAP infection leads to diminished levels of active vitamin D and cathelicidin in CD patients, which may explain the exacerbated vitamin D deficiency state in these cases.
