Gut Microbiota as a Mediator Between Intestinal Fibrosis and Creeping Fat in Crohn's Disease.
Review in United European gastroenterology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Intestinal stricture remains one of the most challenging complications in Crohn's disease, and its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that gut microbiota is significantly altered in stenotic intestines and may play a key role in the development of fibrogenesis in Crohn's disease. Additionally, the presence of hypertrophic mesenteric adipose tissue, also known as creeping fat, is closely correlated with intestinal stricture and fibrosis. Recent findings have revealed that bacterial translocation to creeping fat might exacerbate colitis and promote intestinal fibrosis. However, there is still a gap in determining whether gut microbiota links the formation of creeping fat to intestinal fibrosis. Hence, this review aims to summarize the known microbial influences on intestinal fibrosis, describes the microbial characteristics of creeping fat in Crohn's disease, and discusses the crosstalk between creeping fat-associated dysbiosis and the development of intestinal fibrosis.
