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

A common feature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the loss of intestinal epithelial barrier function due to excessive apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). However, the molecular mechanism underlying increased IEC apoptosis remains unclear. Here, we investigated the role of PHLPP, a novel family of protein phosphatases, in regulating inflammation-induced IEC apoptosis in mouse models of colitis. Both Phlpp1 and Phlpp2 genes were deleted in mice. Compared with wild-type mice, PHLPP double knockout (DKO) mice were protected from colitis induced by DSS as demonstrated by lower histopathological scores, and this reduced susceptibility to colitis was associated with decreased apoptosis and increased Akt activity in IECs in vivo. In addition, epithelial organoids derived from PHLPP DKO mice were more resistant to inflammation-induced apoptosis while inhibition of Akt activity abolished the protective effect of PHLPP-loss. Furthermore, we found that PHLPP expression was significantly reduced in IECs following the induction of colitis by DSS and in human IBD patient samples. This inflammation-induced downregulation of PHLPP was partially blocked by treating cells with a proteasome inhibitor. Taken together, our results indicated that proteasome-mediated degradation of PHLPP at the onset of inflammation plays an important role in protecting IEC injury by inhibiting apoptosis.
