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

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) leads a loss of epithelial barrier function, decline in epithelial cell (EC) proliferation, and decreased expression of E-cadherin. As a large portion of intracellular beta-catenin is tightly associated with E-cadherin, we hypothesized that the loss of E-cadherin would result in a redistribution of intracellular beta-catenin, and could be a contributing mechanism for this TPN-associated loss of EC proliferation. An assessment of small bowel epithelium was performed in mice given either enteral nutrition (Control) or intravenous nutrition (TPN). TPN significantly down-regulated E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression, and resulted in a loss of a colocalization of these factors. TPN also up-regulated phosphorylated (p)-beta-catenin (Ser31/33,Thr41) and down-regulated (p)-beta-catenin(Ser552) expression. To further address mechanisms driving this, we observed a significant decrease in the abundance of p-AKT and p-GSK3beta expression, and an associated decline in tcf-4 transcription factors (cyclin D1, c-myc and Axin2), as well as a loss of EC proliferation by 7 days. To address whether the mechanism driving these changes was the absence of nutritional factors, glutamine was added to the TPN solution. This resulted in a partial restoration of beta-catenin expression and EC proliferation, suggesting that an alteration in nutrient delivery may affect many of these changes. Based on these findings, the loss of EC proliferation with TPN may well be due to a loss of total beta-catenin, as well as a concomitant change in the differential expression of beta-catenin phosphorylation sites, and a reduction in beta-catenin mediated tcf-4 transcription. This potential pathway may well explain many of the findings of mucosal atrophy associated with TPN.
