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

purposeThis report describes the effect of rhamnolipids (RLs) on the tight junctions (TJ) of the intestinal epithelium using the rat in-situ closed loop model.

methodsWe investigated the transport of 5 (6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF) and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextrans with average molecular weights of 4.4 and 10 kDa (FD-4 and FD-10) when co-administered with different concentrations of RLs. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage assay and histopathological examination of treated intestinal loops were used to assess potential toxicity of RLs. Further, the effect of kaempferol on accelerating the resealing of the tight junctions in vivo was also investigated

resultsData shows that administration of different RLs concentrations (1.0-5.0% v/v) increased CF absorption through rat intestine by 2.84- and 15.82-folds with RLs concentrations of 1.0% and 5.0% v/v, respectively. RLs exhibited size-dependent increase on FD-4 and FD-10 absorption. Dosing RLs at 1.0% v/v didn't cause a significant LDH leakage or histopathological changes to intestinal mucosa compared to higher concentrations, which showed a progressive damaging effect. Using kaempferol, a natural flavonoid that stimulates the assembly of the TJs, proved to enhance the recovery of barrier properties of the intestinal mucosa treated with high concentrations of RLs (2.5% and 5% v/v).

conclusionsThese results collectively illustrate the ability of RLs to enhance oral bioavailability of different molecules across the intestinal epithelial membrane in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion.
