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

backgroundLeukocyte recruitment to sites of intestinal inflammation is a crucial multi-step process, leading ultimately to the accumulation of cells in the inflamed tissue. These interactions in the gut are critically dependent on the mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1), which is expressed on endothelial cells within the mesenteric lymph nodes and the lamina propria of the intestine. Here, we investigate the pathophysiologic role of MAdCAM-1 in the intestinal microcirculation in vivo.

methodsUsing a standard mouse model, chronic colitis was established after four cycles of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) application. MAdCAM-1 expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, as well as real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Intravital microscopy was used to study the role of MAdCAM-1 on leukocyte-endothelium interactions and leukocyte extravasation.

resultsSignificant changes in MAdCAM-1 were observed in mice with chronic DSS-induced colitis. Upregulation of MAdCAM-1 expression in chronic colitis was demonstrated on a protein and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level. Anti-MAdCAM-1 treatment lead to a marked reduction (>60%) of leukocyte sticking and extravasation in vivo, compared to the controls. This was parallelled by a significant reduction (45%) of intestinal inflammation, as measured by the histologic grading score.

conclusionThese in vivo results demonstrate a distinct role of MAdCAM-1 in inflammatory intestinal diseases, and suggest that therapeutic strategies targeting this adhesion molecule could be useful in the treatment of chronic colitis.
