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

Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by transmural inflammation and intestinal fibrosis, in which metabolic reprogramming may contribute to fibrotic remodeling through lactate-associated epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, but key cellular states and candidate biomarkers remain unclear. Therefore, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with a lactylation-associated transcriptional score to estimate lactate/lactylation-related transcriptional activity in CD intestinal tissues. High-dimensional weighted gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA) and an integrated machine learning framework identified core lactylation-associated biomarkers, which were validated in clinical tissue and a TNBS-induced mouse model. Additionally, we evaluated the ability of these core genes to predict anti-TNF-α treatment response in an independent clinical cohort, and analyzed cellular communication and trajectories, using CellChat, Monocle 2, and spatial transcriptomics. In this study, an enterocyte state with high lactylation-associated transcriptional scores was identified.
