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

backgroundE-cadherin is a cell adhesion protein with crucial roles in development, tissue homeostasis, and disease. Loss of E-cadherin in the adult intestinal epithelium disrupts tissue architecture and is associated with impaired localization and function of goblet and Paneth cells, reduced expression of antibacterial factors, and deficiency in clearing enteropathogenic bacteria. Several studies have suggested a role of E-cadherin in human inflammatory bowel disease.

aimTo investigate the role of E-cadherin deficiency in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease in a mouse model of experimentally induced colitis.

methodsTo induce E-cadherin deficiency, Villin-Cre-ER (T2) ;Cdh1 (fl/fl) mice received intraperitoneal injections of tamoxifen at days 1, 2, 5, and 8. Experimental colitis was induced by oral administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS, 3.5 % in the drinking water) for 3 days, starting at the third day after the first tamoxifen injection.

resultsE-cadherin deficiency in the adult mouse intestinal epithelium aggravates the clinical and histological features of DSS-induced colitis. Upon DSS treatment, mice deficient in E-cadherin lost more weight, were more severely dehydrated, and showed more frequently blood in the feces. Histologically, intestinal E-cadherin deficiency was associated with exacerbated acute and chronic inflammation and increased regenerative epithelial changes. Finally, the changes in the epithelium were distributed more diffusely in E-cadherin-deficient mice, while the mucosal damage was more focally localized in control animals.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that E-cadherin may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis, one of the major clinical forms of inflammatory bowel disease.
