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

Present study aims to investigate the role of AGEs, TGF-β1, BDNF and their receptors on diabetes-induced colon remodeling. Diabetes was induced by a single tail vein injection 40 mg/kg of STZ. The parameters of morphometric and biomechanical properties of colonic segments were obtained from diabetic and normal rats. The expressions of AGE, RAGE, TGF- β1, TGF- β1 receptor, BDNF and TrkB were immunohistochemically detected in different layers of the colon. The expressions of AGE, RAGE, TGF-β1 and TGF- β1 receptor were increased whereas BDNF and TrkB were decreased in the diabetic colon (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). AGE, RAGE and TGF-β1 receptor expressions were positively correlated whereas the BDNF expression was negatively correlated with most of the morphometry and biomechanical parameters (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.001). AGE, TGF- β1 and BDNF in different layers correlated with their receptors RAGE, TGF- β1 receptor and TrkB respectively. STZ-induced diabetes up-regulated the expression of AGE, RAGE, TGF- β1 and TGF- β1 receptors and down-regulated BDNF and TrkB in different layers of diabetic colon mainly due to hyperglycemia. Such changes maybe important for diabetes-induced colon remodeling, however it is needed to further perform mechanistic experiments in order to study causality or approaches that explain the relevance of the molecular pathways.
