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

backgroundGoblet cells, which contribute to mucosal defense and repair in the intestinal epithelium, are depleted in human and rodent colitis. The Notch signal pathway regulates the differentiation of intestinal stem cells into epithelial cells and inhibits the differentiation of secretory lineages, including goblet cells. The aim of our study was to clarify whether the blocking of the Notch pathway at an early stage of colitis would preserve goblet cells and facilitate the healing process in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice.

methodsDSS was orally administered to C57/BL6 mice for 7 days, and dibenzazepine (DBZ), a Notch pathway blocker, was administered for 5 consecutive days, beginning on the first day of DSS treatment. Colonic mucosal inflammation was evaluated clinically, biochemically, and histologically. The expression of the goblet cell-associated genes Math1 and MUC2 and proinflammatory cytokines was evaluated by real-time reverse-transcriptase-PCR, with the expression of Math1 and MUC2 also visualized by immunohistochemical examination.

resultsThe administration of DBZ at 4 mumol/kg significantly reduced the severity of the colitis. Compared with the DSS only-treated intestine, the number of goblet cells was relatively sustained, and the expression of Math1 and MUC2 was also elevated in the DSS/DBZ-treated intestine. DBZ treatment suppressed the mRNA levels for interleukin-1beta and -6, and matrix metalloproteinases-3 and -9 in the DSS-treated intestine.

conclusionsEarly-stage blocking of Notch signaling may ameliorate acute DSS colitis by preventing reduction in the number of goblet cells.
