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

In the present study, the effect of intestinal schistosomiasis on the extrinsic sensory innervation of the murine ileum was investigated. Immunocytochemical techniques to localize calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), and vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) were combined with retrograde tracing techniques and capsaicin treatment. Neurochemical characterization of extrinsic primary afferent neurons (EPANs) in normal and capsaicin-treated mice, revealed that CGRP and VR1, but not SP, were expressed in extrinsic afferents. Immunocytochemical analysis using the above-mentioned antibodies yielded three different populations of neurons in both dorsal root and nodose ganglia, namely CGRP/--, SP/--, and CGRP/SP-expressing neurons. Retrograde tracing revealed that only CGRP/--expressing neurons projected to the ileum. Intestinal schistosomiasis resulted in an upregulation of the number of CGRP-immunoreactive (ir) nerve fibers in the lamina propria of the villi, coinciding with an increase in mucosal mast cells in acutely and chronically infected animals. In infected animals, mucosal mast cells were found closely associated with a dense mucosal CGRP-ir fiber network. Neonatal capsaicin treatment led to a 70% reduction in the number of mucosal mast cells. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that CGRP is a valid marker for EPANs in the mouse ileum, which are involved in the recruitment of mucosal mast cells. Morphological evidence is provided of a neuroimmune interaction between mucosal mast cells and EPANs in schistosoma-infected mice.
