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

backgroundThe early signaling events in the development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remain undefined. We have recently shown that the endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) receptor toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on enterocytes is critical in the pathogenesis of experimental NEC. Given that the membrane receptor CD14 is known to facilitate the activation of TLR4, we now hypothesize that endotoxemia induces an early upregulation of CD14 in enterocytes and that this participates in the early intestinal inflammatory response in the development of NEC.

methodsIEC-6 enterocytes were treated with LPS (50 microg/mL), and the subcellular localization of CD14 and TLR4 was assessed by confocal microscopy. C57/Bl6 or CD14-/- mice were treated with LPS (5 mg/kg), whereas experimental NEC was induced using a combination of gavage formula feeding and intermittent hypoxia. CD14 expression was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and interleukin 6 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.

resultsExposure of IEC-6 enterocytes to LPS led to an initial, transient increase in CD14 expression. The early increase in CD14 expression was associated with internalization of CD14 to a perinuclear compartment where increased colocalization with TLR4 was noted. The in vivo significance of these findings is suggested as treatment of mice with LPS led to an early increase in CD14 expression in the intestinal mucosa, whereas the persistent endotoxemia of experimental NEC was associated with decreased CD14 expression within enterocytes.

conclusionsLPS signaling in the enterocyte is marked by an early, transient increase in expression of CD14 and redistribution of the receptor. This process may contribute to the early activation of the intestinal inflammatory response that is observed in the development of NEC.
