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

Guanylate cyclase C (GUCY2C or GC-C) and its ligands, guanylin (GUCA2A or Gn) and uroguanylin (GUCA2B or Ugn), are expressed in intestinal epithelial cells and regulate ion secretion, intestinal barrier function, and epithelial monolayer homeostasis via cGMP-dependent signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to determine whether GC-C and its ligands direct the course of intestinal inflammation. In this article, we show that dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced clinical disease and histological damage to the colonic mucosa were significantly less severe in GC-C(-/-) mice and moderately reduced in Gn(-/-) animals. Relative to wild-type controls, GC-C(-/-) and Gn(-/-) mice had reduced apoptosis and increased proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells during DSS colitis. Basal and DSS-induced production of resistin-like molecule β (RELMβ) was substantially diminished in GC-C(-/-) mice. RELMβ is thought to stimulate cytokine production in macrophages in this disease model and, consistent with this, TNF-α and IFN-γ production was minimal in GC-C(-/-) animals. RELMβ and cytokine levels were similar to wild-type in Gn(-/-) mice, however. Colonic instillation of recombinant RELMβ by enema into GC-C(-/-) mice restores sensitivity to DSS-mediated mucosal injury. These findings demonstrate a novel role for GC-C signaling in facilitating mucosal wounding and inflammation, and further suggest that this may be mediated, in part, through control of RELMβ production.
