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

backgroundHypoxia has been reported to be associated with the colonic inflammation observed in a chemically induced mouse model of self-limiting colitis, suggesting that low tissue oxygen tension may play a role in the pathophysiology of inflammatory tissue injury. However, no studies have been reported evaluating whether tissue hypoxia is associated with chronic gut inflammation. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine whether hypoxia is produced within the colon during the development of chronic gut inflammation.

methodsAdoptive transfer of CD4(+) T cells obtained from interleukin-10-deficient (IL-10(-/-)) mice into lymphopenic recombinase-activating gene-1-deficient (RAG(-/-)) mice induces chronic colonic inflammation, with the inflammation ranging from mild to severe as determined by blinded histological analyses. Colonic blood flow, hematocrit, and vascular density were determined using standard protocols, whereas tissue hypoxia was determined using the oxygen-dependent probe pimonidazole.

resultsAdoptive transfer of IL-10(-/-) CD4(+) T cells into RAG(-/-) recipients induced chronic colonic inflammation that ranged from mild to severe at 8 weeks following T-cell transfer. The colitis was characterized by bowel wall thickening, goblet cell dropout, and inflammatory infiltrate. Surprisingly, we found that animals exhibiting mild colonic inflammation had increased hypoxia and decreased systemic hematocrit, whereas mice with severe colitis exhibited levels of hypoxia and hematocrit similar to healthy controls. In addition, we observed that the extent of hypoxia correlated inversely with hematocrit and vascular density.

conclusionsChanges in hematocrit, vascular density, and inflammatory state appear to influence the extent of tissue oxygenation in the T-cell-mediated model of chronic gut inflammation.
