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

Colitis, induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) in guinea pig, leads to decreased purinergic neuromuscular transmission resulting in a reduction in inhibitory junction potentials (IJPs) in colonic circular muscle. We explored possible mechanisms responsible for this inflammation-induced neurotransmitter plasticity. Previous studies have suggested that the deficit in inflamed tissue involves decreased ATP release. We therefore hypothesized that decreased purinergic transmission results from inflammation-induced free radical damage to mitochondria, leading to decreased purine synthesis and release. Stimulus-induced release of purines was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography, and quantities of all purines measured were significantly reduced in the inflamed colons as compared to controls. To test whether decreased mitochondrial function affects the IJP, colonic muscularis preparations were treated with the mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibitors oligomycin or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, which resulted in a significant reduction of IJP amplitude. Induction of oxidative stress in vitro, by addition of H2O2 to the preparation, also significantly reduced IJP amplitude. Purinergic neuromuscular transmission was significantly restored in TNBS-inflamed guinea pigs, and in dextran sodium sulfate-inflamed mice, treated with a free radical scavenger. Furthermore, propulsive motility in the distal colons of guinea pigs with TNBS colitis was improved by in vivo treatment with the free radical scavenger. We conclude that oxidative stress contributes to the reduction in purinergic neuromuscular transmission measured in animal models of colitis, and that these changes can be prevented by treatment with a free radical scavenger, resulting in improved motility.
