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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsSevere acute pancreatitis is characterized by acinar cell death and inflammation. Necroptosis is an aggressive and pro-inflammatory mode of cell death that can be prevented by necrostatin-1 administration or RIP3 deletion.

methodsMouse pancreatic acinar cells were incubated with supramaximally stimulating concentrations of caerulein or sub-micellar concentrations of TLCS and necroptosis was inhibited by either addition of necrostatin or by RIP3 deletion. Cell death was quantitated using either LDH leakage from acini or PI staining of nuclei. Necrosome formation was tracked and quantitated using cell fractionation or immunoprecipitation. Pancreatitis was induced in mice by retrograde intraductal infusion of TLCS or by repetitive supramaximal stimulation with caerulein.

resultsNecroptosis was found to be the most prevalent mode of acinar cell in vitro death and little or no apoptosis was observed. Acinar cell death was associated with necrosome formation and prevented by either necrostatin administration or RIP3 deletion. Both of these interventions reduced the severity of TLCS- or caerulein-induced pancreatitis. Delaying necrostatin administration until after pancreatitis had already been established could still reduce the severity of TLCS-induced pancreatitis.

conclusionsNecroptosis is the predominant mode of acinar cell death in severe experimental mouse pancreatitis. The severity of pancreatitis can be reduced by administration of necrostatin and that necrostatin can still reduce the cell injury of pancreatitis even if it is administered after the disease has already been established. Inhibition of necroptosis may be an effective strategy for the treatment of severe clinical pancreatitis.
