Alleviated mucosal and neuronal damage in a rat model of Crohn's disease.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
aimTo establish a rat model suitable to investigate the repetitive relapsing inflammations (RRI) characteristic to Crohn's disease.
methodsColitis was induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS). RRI were mimicked by repeating administrations of TNBS. Tissue samples were taken from control, once, twice and three times treated rats from the inflamed and adjacent non-inflamed colonic segments at different timepoints during the acute intestinal inflammation. The means of the ulcerated area were measured to evaluate the macroscopic mucosal damage. The density of myenteric neurons was determined on whole mounts by HuC/HuD immunohistochemistry. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression was evaluated by molecular biological techniques.
resultsTNBS-treated rats displayed severe colitis, but the mortality was negligible, and an increase of body weight was characteristic throughout the experimental period. The widespread loss of myenteric neurons, and marked but transient HO-1 up-regulation were demonstrated after the first TNBS administration. After repeated doses the length of the recovery time and extent of the ulcerous colonic segments were markedly decreased, and the neuronal loss was on a smaller scale and was limited to the inflamed area. HO-1 mRNA level was notably greater than after a single dose and overexpression was sustained throughout the timepoints examined. Nevertheless, the HO-1 protein up-regulation after the second TNBS treatment proved to be transient. Following the third treatment HO-1 protein expression could not be detected.
conclusionExperimentally provoked RRI may exert a protective preconditioning effect against the mucosal and neuronal damage. The persistent up-regulation of HO-1 mRNA expression may correlate with this.
