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

It has not been fully understood how intact protein antigens escape digestion in the course of absorption. The present study was designed to investigate the mechanism that heat stress induced an increase in intact protein antigen absorption. Human colonic cell line Caco-2 cells were treated with high temperature (37 to 43 degrees C) for 60 min. Epithelial permeability was evaluated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) flux and dextran flux. Activity of the major intracellular proteolytic enzyme, acid phosphatase, in Caco-2 cells was determined. HRP products in Caco-2 cells were observed by electron microscopy (EM) and analyzed with a computerized image processing system. Heat stress significantly increased intact protein HRP transport across Caco-2 monolayers, decreased acid phosphatase activity of the cells, and significantly reduced transepithelial electric resistance of Caco-2 cells. EM results showed that HRP transport across Caco-2 monolayers occurred mainly via the intracellular pathway.
