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

Colonic administration of a hapten, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) has been shown to induce colitis in rats. We are using this model to investigate the role of colonic antigens in the immunopathology. In this study, we show that colitis can be suppressed by oral administration of haptenized colonic antigens prior to the TNBS enema. Moreover, our data suggest that haptenization of the colonic antigens is not essential because oral feeding of non haptenized colonic antigens too protects rats from TNBS-induced colitis. Thus, unmodified colonic antigens may be involved in the induction of oral tolerance, and possibly in the pathogenesis in this model of colitis. Further, we show that the protective immunity or oral tolerance induced by non haptenized colonic antigens can be passively transferred to naïve rats by mesenteric T lymphocytes. Interestingly, oral feeding of small intestinal antigens, haptenized and non haptenized, does not protect rats from colitis, suggesting a specific role for colonic antigens. These data underscore the usefulness of this rat model in the identification of pathogenic antigens in colitis and in the development of therapeutic strategies based on oral tolerance.
