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 purposeInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, and an impaired immune response plays a critical role in IBD. The current drugs and therapies for IBD treatment are of limited use, therefore, there is a need to find novel drugs or therapies for this disease. We investigated the effect of cambogin in a mouse model of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and whether cambogin attenuates inflammation via a Treg-cell-mediated effect on the immune response. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Chronic colitis was established in mice using 2% DSS, and cambogin (10 mg·kg KEY

resultsCambogin attenuated diarrhoea, colon shortening and colon histological injury and IL-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α production in DSS-treated mice. Cambogin also up-regulated Treg cell numbers in both the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes. Furthermore, cambogin (10 μM) prevented Foxp3 loss in human primary Treg cells in vitro, and promoted USP7-mediated Foxp3 deubiquitination and increased Foxp3 protein expression in LPS-treated cells. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The effect of cambogin on DSS-induced colitis is expedited by a Treg-cell-mediated modification of the immune response, suggesting that cambogin could be applied as a novel agent for treating colitis and other Treg cell-related diseases.
