Expression of Transcription Factor FOXO3a is Decreased in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.
Article in Chinese medical journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) is associated with differential expression of genes involved in inflammation and tissue remodeling, including FOXO3a, which encodes a transcription factor known to promote inflammation in several tissues. However, FOXO3a expression in tissues affected by UC has not been examined. This study investigated the effects of FOXO3a on UC pathogenesis.
methodsFOXO3a expression, in 23 patients with UC and in HT29 cells treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) for various durations, was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify interleukin (IL)-8 expression in FOXO3a-silenced HT29 cells treated with TNF-α for various durations.
resultsThe messenger RNA and protein expression of FOXO3a were significantly lower in UC tissues than those in normal subjects (P < 0.01). TNF-α treatment for 0, 0.5, 1, 6, and 24 h induced FOXO3 degradation in HT29 cells. FOXO3a silencing increased IL-8 levels in HT29 cells treated with TNF-α for 6 h (P < 0.05).
conclusionFOXO3a may play an important role in the intestinal inflammation of patients with UC.
