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

backgroundImpairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) could result in life-threatening pancreatic encephalopathy. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a classical cytokine that is well-known for its strong immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory abilities. However, whether and how IL-10 protects the BBB in SAP are still unclear.

methodsThis study includes in vivo experiments using a SAP rat model and in vitro experiments using an in vitro BBB model consisting of a monolayer of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). The study groups are divided into the control, SAP (in vivo)/TNF-α (in vitro), IL-10 treatment, IL-10 + signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor S3I-201 treatment groups. Pancreatic pathological scores, serum amylase, serum TNF-α levels and BBB permeability by Evan's blue assay in SAP rat models were evaluated. BMEC apoptosis in SAP rats or induced by TNF-αin vitro was detected by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) and flow cytometry, separately. Expression levels of claudin-5 and proteins involved in the STAT3 signaling pathway were measured by Western blotting. Location and changes of junctional structure of claudin-5 on BMECs were assessed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.

resultsIn vivo, IL-10 alleviated the severity of inflammation, attenuated the increased BBB permeability in SAP rat models by reducing BMEC apoptosis via the STAT3 pathway and ameliorated the down-regulation of claudin-5 expression in BMECs; in vitro, IL-10 improved BBB integrity against TNF-α by attenuating BMEC apoptosis via the STAT3 pathway, the impairment of tight junction structure and the down-regulation of claudin-5 expression in BMECs.

conclusionsIL-10 improves BBB properties in SAP by attenuating the down-regulation of claudin-5 expression and the impairment of tight junctions and by STAT3 pathway-mediated anti-apoptotic effects on BMECs.
