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

backgroundChronic alcohol abuse is associated with intestinal dysbiosis and bacterial translocation. Translocated commensal bacteria contribute to alcoholic liver disease. Secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the intestine binds bacteria and prevents bacterial translocation.

methodsTo investigate the functional role of IgA in ethanol (EtOH)-induced liver disease in mice, we subjected wild type (WT) and IgA-deficient littermate mice to Lieber-DeCarli models of chronic EtOH administration and the model of chronic and binge EtOH feeding (the NIAAA model).

resultsChronic EtOH feeding increased systemic levels of IgA, while fecal IgA was reduced in C57BL/6 WT mice. WT and Iga

conclusionsOur findings indicate that absence of IgA does not affect the development of alcoholic liver disease in mice. Loss of intestinal IgA is compensated by increased levels of intestinal IgM, which likely limits bacterial translocation after chronic EtOH administration.
