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

backgroundInfiltration of inflammatory cells into the colon plays an important role in the onset and course of inflammatory bowel disease. G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6) is an intracellular kinase that regulates the sensitivity of certain G-protein-coupled receptors, including those involved in the migration of inflammatory cells. Therefore, it is hypothesised that GRK6 plays a role in determining the course of inflammation.

aimTo analyse the role of GRK6 in the course of dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced colitis.

methodsColitis was induced by administering 1% DSS in drinking water to GRK6(-/-), GRK6(+/-) and wild-type (WT) mice for 6 days. The severity of colitis was assessed on the basis of clinical signs, colon length and histology. Moreover, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC) levels, granulocyte infiltration, interleukin 1beta (IL1beta), CD4, CD8 and forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3) expression in the colon were determined. In addition, regulatory T cell function in WT and GRK6(-/-) mice was analysed. The chemotactic response of granulocytes to colon culture supernatants was assessed using a transendothelial migration assay.

resultsThe severity of colitis was increased in GRK6(-/-) and GRK6(+/-) mice and was accompanied by increased KC levels and increased granulocyte infiltration. Moreover, the chemotactic response of GRK6(-/-) granulocytes to supernatants of colon cultures was enhanced. Interestingly, the WT mice completely recovered from colitis, whereas the GRK6(-/-) and GRK6(+/-) mice developed chronic colitis, which was accompanied by increased IL1beta and CD4 expression and decreased FoxP3 expression. Moreover, regulatory T cell function was impaired in the GRK6(-/-) mice.

conclusionsThe intracellular level of GRK6 is an important factor in determining the onset, severity and chronicity of DSS-induced colitis.
