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

aimActivation of sphingosine kinase (SK) is a key response to many inflammatory processes. The present studies test the hypothesis that an orally available SK inhibitor, ABC294640, would be effective in rodent models of Crohn's disease.

methodsTrinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) was administered rectally to mice and rats. Rats were treated with ABC294640 orally alone or in combination with olsalazine and disease progression was monitored.

resultsFor both rodent species, treatment with ABC294640 attenuated disease progression. Colon samples from the ABC294640-treated animals had improved histology and cytokine parameters when compared with vehicle-treated animals. The expression of SK was similarly increased in TNBS-treated animals and in human colon tissue specimens from inflammatory bowel disease patients relative to normal, control patients.

conclusionsSphingosine kinase may be a critical mediator of colonic damage during intestinal inflammation, and pharmacologic inhibitors of this enzyme may prove useful in the treatment of Crohn's disease.
