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

Inorganic sulfate (SO₄²⁻) is essential for a multitude of physiological processes. The specific molecular pathway has been identified for uptake from the small intestine but is virtually unknown for the large bowel, although there is evidence for absorption involving Na⁺-independent anion exchange. A leading candidate is the apical chloride/bicarbonate (Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻) exchanger DRA (down-regulated in adenoma; Slc26a3), primarily linked to the Cl⁻ transporting defect in congenital chloride diarrhea. The present study set out to characterize transepithelial ³⁵SO₄²⁻ and ³⁶Cl⁻ fluxes across the isolated, short-circuited cecum from wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice and subsequently to define the contribution of DRA. The cecum demonstrated simultaneous net SO₄²⁻ secretion (-8.39 ± 0.88 nmol·cm⁻²·h⁻¹) and Cl⁻ absorption (10.85 ± 1.41 μmol·cm⁻²·h⁻¹). In DRA-KO mice, SO₄²⁻ secretion was reversed to net absorption via a 60% reduction in serosal to mucosal SO₄²⁻ flux. Similarly, net Cl⁻ absorption was abolished and replaced by secretion, indicating that DRA represents a major pathway for transcellular SO₄²⁻ secretion and Cl⁻ absorption. Further experiments including the application of DIDS (500 μM), bumetanide (100 μM), and substitutions of extracellular Cl⁻ or HCO₃⁻/CO₂ helped to identify specific ion dependencies and driving forces and suggested that additional anion exchangers were operating at both apical and basolateral membranes supporting SO₄²⁻ transport. In conclusion, DRA contributes to SO₄²⁻ secretion via DIDS-sensitive HCO₃⁻/SO₄²⁻ exchange, in addition to being the principal DIDS-resistant Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchanger. With DRA linked to the pathogenesis of other gastrointestinal diseases extending its functional characterization offers a more complete picture of its role in the intestine.
