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

aimTo investigate the impact of phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) in the specification of intestinal enteroendocrine subpopulations.

methodsUsing the Cre/loxP system, a mouse with conditional intestinal epithelial Pten deficiency was generated. Pten mutant mice and controls were sacrificed and small intestines collected for immunofluorescence and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Blood was collected on 16 h fasted mice by cardiac puncture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure blood circulating ghrelin, somatostatin (SST) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) levels.

resultsResults show an unexpected dual regulatory role for epithelial Pten signalling in the specification/differentiation of enteroendocrine cell subpopulations in the small intestine. Our data indicate that Pten positively regulates chromogranin A (CgA) expressing subpopulations, including cells expressing secretin, ghrelin, gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK). In contrast, Pten negatively regulates the enteroendocrine subtype specification of non-expressing CgA cells such as GIP and SST expressing cells.

conclusionThe present results demonstrate that Pten signalling favours the enteroendocrine progenitor to specify into cells expressing CgA including those producing CCK, gastrin and ghrelin.
