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

Intestinal myofibroblasts secrete substances that control organogenesis and wound repair of the intestine. The myofibroblasts of the rat small intestine express reelin and the present work explores whether reelin regulates crypt-villus unit homeostasis using normal mice and mice with the reelin gene disrupted (reeler). The results reveal that mouse small intestine expresses reelin, its receptors apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2) and very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VldlR) and the reelin effector protein Disabled-1 (Dab1) and that reelin expression is restricted to myofibroblasts. The absence of reelin significantly reduces epithelial cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis and the number of Paneth cells. These effects are observed during the suckling, weaning, and adult periods. The number of Goblet cells is increased in the 2-month-old reeler mice. The absence of reelin also expands the extracellular space of the adherens junctions and desmosomes without significantly affecting either the tight-junction structure or the epithelial paracellular permeability. In conclusion, this is the first in vivo work showing that the absence of reelin alters intestinal epithelium homeostasis.
