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

Bacterium-induced diarrhea results in 2 to 2.5 million deaths in the world each year. The mechanism needs to be further understood. Staphylococcus aureus infection has a close relation with diarrhea; its cell wall component peptidoglycan (PGN) has strong biological activity on immune cells and possibly plays a role in S. aureus-induced diarrhea. The present study showed that oral PGN-induced diarrhea in mice in a dose-dependent manner. Intestinal epithelial cells absorbed PGN via the intracellular pathway. Intestinal mast cells were activated after PGN gavage. Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 expression was detected in mast cells in the intestine as well as in the murine mast cell line p815 cells. Blocking TLR2 or nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)1 with related antibodies or RNA interference abolished PGN-induced p815 cell activation. The mast cell mediator histamine and serotonin had synergistic effects in PGN-induced diarrhea. In summary, oral PGN can induce diarrhea in mice, and TLR2 and NOD1 mediate the PGN-induced mast cell activation that plays a critical role in diarrhea induction. Blockade of TLR2 or NOD1 or treating mice with a mast cell stabilizer can efficiently inhibit PGN-induced-diarrhea, providing potential therapeutic significance.
