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

purposeTo establish how closely intestinal transport activity for beta-lactam antibiotics is correlated with PepT1 expression, absolute expression level of PepT1 mRNA and transport activity were determined longitudinally in the small intestine of fed and starved rats.

methodsFor evaluation of absolute expression levels of PepTl mRNA, quantitative RT-PCR by LightCycler was used. The transport function was determined by quantifying the absorptive transport of cefadroxil across intestinal tissue sheets in a Ussing chamber.

resultsPepT1 mRNA expression was highest at the lower region and lowest at the upper region in the fed rats. The value of PepT1 was about 1/5-1/6 of that of GAPDH. The expression level in the starved rats was increased in all segments, but more profoundly in the upper region. Cefadroxil transport across intestinal tissue was higher in the lower region and lower in the upper region in fed rats, and increased in the upper region in starved rats. An excellent correlation was observed between expression levels and the permeability coefficients (r2 = 0.859, p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe intestinal transport of cefadroxil is directly proportional to PepT1 expression, suggesting that the PepT1 expression level in the rat small intestine is the major determinant of the absorption of peptide-like compounds.
