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

Ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory disorder of the colon arises from dysregulated immune response towards gut microbes. Transcription factor NFκB is a major regulatory component influencing mucosal inflammation. We evaluated expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Induced Protein3 (TNFAIP3), the inhibitor of NFκB activation and its associated partners ITCH, RNF11 and Tax1BP1 in inflamed mucosa of UC patients. We found highly significant up-regulated mRNA expression of TNFAIP3 that negatively correlated with disease activity in UC. mRNA levels of ITCH, RNF11 and Tax1BP1 were significantly down-regulated. Significant positive correlation with disease activity was noted for Tax1BP1. All four genes showed significant down-regulation at protein level. mRNA levels of inducers of TNFAIP3 expression, NFκB p65 subunit and MAST3 was determined. There was significant increase in p65 mRNA expression and down-regulated MAST3 expression. This suggested that increase in NFκB expression regulates TNFAIP3 levels. Deficiency of TNFAIP3 expression resulted in significant up-regulation of NFκB p65 sub-unit as well as its downstream genes such as iNOS, an inflammatory marker, inhibitors of apoptosis like cIAP2 and XIAP and mediators of anti-apoptotic signals TRAF1 and TRAF2. Taken together, decreased expression of TNFAIP3 and its partners contribute to inflammation and up-regulation of apoptosis inhibitors that may create microenvironment for colorectal cancer.
