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

backgroundCrohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterised by intestinal dysbiosis. While inflammation-induced leakage of host proteins is a known phenomenon in CD, how these proteins affect the gut microbiota and contribute to dysbiosis remains unclear. One hypothesis is that commensal bacteria hijack these proteins, exacerbating inflammation in CD.

designTo investigate host-microbiota interactions in CD, we measured fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) levels in patients with CD and in mouse models of dextran sulfate sodium induced enteritis and interleukin 10 knockout spontaneous enteritis. Proteomic approaches, including bacterial pull-down and mass spectrometry, were employed to identify commensal targets of FABP2. Functional studies were conducted using wild type and

resultsFABP2 levels were elevated in plasma and faeces of patients with CD, as well as in the mouse models. This was accompanied by dysbiosis of gut commensal bacteria.

conclusionThis study reveals a novel mechanism by which commensal bacteria use host-derived FABP2 to drive dysbiosis and worsen CD pathology. Targeting the FABP2-EF3041 axis may offer new diagnostic and therapeutic avenues for managing CD.
