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

BACKGROUND &

aimsIntestinal adaptation in short bowel syndrome (SBS) consists of increased epithelial cell (EC) proliferation as well as apoptosis. Previous microarray analyses of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) gene expression after SBS showed an increased expression of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Because ACE has been shown to promote alveolar EC apoptosis, we examined if IEL-derived ACE plays a role in intestinal EC apoptosis.

methodsMice underwent either a 70% mid-intestinal resection (SBS group) or a transection (Sham group) and were studied at 7 days. ACE expression was measured, and ACE inhibition (ACE-I, enalaprilat) was used to assess ACE function.

resultsIEL-derived ACE was significantly elevated in SBS mice. The addition of an ACE-I to SBS mice resulted in a significant decline in EC apoptosis. To address a possible mechanism, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA expression was measured. TNF-alpha was significantly increased in SBS mice, and decreased with ACE-I. Interestingly, ACE-I was not able to decrease EC apoptosis in TNF-alpha knockout mice.

conclusionsThis study shows a previously undescribed expression of ACE by IEL. SBS was associated with an increase in IEL-derived ACE. ACE appears to be associated with an up-regulation of intestinal EC apoptosis. ACE-I significantly decreased EC apoptosis.
