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

backgroundTrinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis is one of the most widely used experimental colitis models. However, there is no standard procedure for inducing colitis by TNBS because it is difficult to achieve a uniform distribution of colitis. We have developed a modified method of murine TNBS-induced colitis that involves inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane combined with both single and repeated TNBS administrations.

aimsTo compare the usefulness of our newly developed method for inducing murine TNBS-induced colitis with that of conventional intraperitoneal anesthesia.

methodsTNBS in ethanol was administered to C57BL/6J mice held in an inverted vertical position either under continuous inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane, in accordance with our newly developed method, or by intraperitoneal injection with 2.5 % avertin, in accordance with the conventional procedure. Body weight change, cytokine profile, and histological findings were examined during the course of colitis.

resultsThe dispersion of anesthesia time, TNBS retention time, and nadir weight during the course of colitis was decreased using the newly developed method compared with the conventional procedure. Optimization of the modified TNBS-induced colitis, as evidenced by the predominant expression of Th1 and Th17 cytokines on day 7, was attained by the injection of 2.25 mg TNBS in 55 % ethanol. Regulation of the TNBS retention time using inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane allowed strict control of the disease severity of TNBS-induced colitis. Using the modified method we were also able to develop a chronic TNBS-induced colitis model by repeated TNBS administration without excessive mortality of the mice.

conclusionsOur modified method for murine TNBS-induced colitis using continuous inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane provides a better experimental colitis model following both single and repeated TNBS administrations.
