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

Increasing evidence suggests that tachykinins are involved in the control of pathophysiological states, such as inflammation. The precise localization of tachykinin receptors is of paramount importance in the search for their possible physiological and pathological role; in this study, therefore, we attempted to define cellular sites of substance P (NK-1R) and neurokinin A (NK-2R) receptor expression in the healthy and the inflamed human intestine by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. In the normal ileum and colon, NK-1R and NK-2R were localized to smooth muscle cells of the muscularis mucosae and propria and a few inflammatory cells of the lamina propria; NK-1R expression was also found in the muscular wall of submucosal blood vessels, enteric neurons and, to a lesser degree, in surface epithelial cells. Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis showed a dramatic increase in NK-1R density relative to controls, in both the inflamed and the uninvolved mucosa. Up-regulation of NK-1R was particularly evident on epithelial cells lining the mucosal surface and crypts, as well as on endothelial cells of capillaries and venules. Also, a marked increase in NK-2R expression was found in both groups of patients on inflammatory cells of the lamina propria, especially eosinophils. Our findings demonstrate that in the normal human intestine NK-1R and NK-2R are expressed in multiple cell types, which are endowed with different physiological functions; in addition, they demonstrate that both NK-1R and NK-2R are up-regulated in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Taken together, these observations may have important physiological and pathophysiological implications, and provide the rationale for the use of NK-1R and NK-2R antagonists in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
