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

Wnt5a, which regulates various cellular functions in Wnt signaling, is involved in inflammatory responses, however the mechanism is not well understood. We examined the role of Wnt5a signaling in intestinal immunity using conditional knockout mice for Wnt5a and its receptor Ror2. Removing Wnt5a or Ror2 in adult mice suppressed dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. It also attenuated the DSS-dependent increase in inflammatory cytokine production and decreased interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing CD4(+) Th1 cell numbers in the colon. Wnt5a was highly expressed in stromal fibroblasts in ulcerative lesions in the DSS-treated mice and inflammatory bowel disease patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) isolated from the colon of Wnt5a and Ror2 deficient mice reduced the ability to differentiate naïve CD4(+) T cells to IFN-γ-producing CD4(+) Th1 cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the Wnt5a-Ror2 signaling axis augmented the DCs priming effect of IFN-γ, leading to enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced interleukin (IL)-12 expression. Taken together, these results suggest that Wnt5a promotes IFN-γ signaling, leading to IL-12 expression in DCs, and thereby inducing Th1 differentiation in colitis.
