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

BACKGROUND &

aimsThe alimentary tract contains a diffuse endocrine system comprising enteroendocrine cells that secrete peptides or biogenic amines to regulate digestion, insulin secretion, food intake, and energy homeostasis. Lineage analysis in the stomach revealed that a significant fraction of endocrine cells in the gastric corpus did not arise from Neurogenin3 (Neurog3)-expressing cells, unlike enteroendocrine cells elsewhere in the digestive tract. We aimed to isolate enriched serotonin-secreting and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells from the stomach and to clarify their cellular origin.

methodsWe used Neurogenic differentiation 1 (NeuroD1) and Neurog3 lineage analysis and examined the differentiation of serotonin-producing and ECL cells in stomach tissues of NeuroD1-cre;ROSA(tdTom), tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (Tph1)-cyan fluorescent protein (CFP), c-Kit(wsh/wsh), and Neurog3Cre;ROSA(tdTom) mice by immunohistochemistry. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting to isolate each cell type for gene expression analysis. We also performed RNA sequencing analysis of ECL cells.

resultsNeither serotonin-secreting nor ECL cells of the corpus arose from cells expressing NeuroD1. Serotonin-secreting cells expressed a number of mast cell genes but not genes associated with endocrine differentiation; they did not develop in c-Kit(wsh/wsh) mice and were labeled with transplanted bone marrow cells. RNA sequencing analysis of ECL cells revealed high expression levels of many genes common to endocrine cells, including transcription factors, hormones, ion channels, and solute transporters but not markers of bone marrow cells.

conclusionsSerotonin-expressing cells of the gastric corpus of mice appear to be bone marrow-derived mucosal mast cells. Gene expression analysis of ECL cells indicated that they are endocrine cells of epithelial origin that do not express the same transcription factors as their intestinal enteroendocrine cell counterparts.
