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

objectivesTo investigate whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is activated in the intestinal epithelium of acute pancreatitis (AP), and whether it is one of the inducing factors of the intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis in AP.

methodsTwenty-four rats were randomly divided into two groups. AP was induced via retrograde injection of 3 % sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. As a control group, rats received a sham operation. Forty-eight hours after the operation, the ultrastructural changes of ileal epithelial cells were investigated by transmission electron microscope. The protein expressions of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, and JNK in the ileal epithelium were determined by immunohistochemistry, and apoptosis was determined by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling. The mRNA expressions of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, and JNK in the ileal epithelium were determined using quantitative RT-PCR.

resultsThe ileal epithelium in rats with AP had significantly higher apoptotic cells compared with that of the control rats (P < 0.05). ER stress was activated in the ileal epithelium, which was characterized by dilated, irregular ER and upregulated expressions of GRP78 mRNA and protein. The mRNA and protein expressions of CHOP, caspase-12, and JNK in rats with AP were similar to that in the control rats (P > 0.05).

conclusionsER stress is induced in intestinal epithelium during AP; however, ER stress is not likely to be involved in the apoptosis of the intestinal epithelium during AP.
