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

Radiation-induced acute intestinal injury after abdominal and pelvic irradiation is a common and serious problem in the clinical setting. Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), a 33-amino acid peptide, exerts diverse effects related to the regulation of gastrointestinal growth and function. However, GLP-2 is relatively unstable in vivo. The aim of the present study was to improve GLP-2 stability in vivo and to evaluate its therapeutic effect on acute radiation enteritis. We generated long-lasting intestinal protection peptides by conjugating human GLP-2 (hGLP-2) peptides to polyethyleneglycol (PEG) to produce mPEGylation hGLP-2 (Mono-PEG-hGLP-2) through an enzymatic site-specific transglutamination reaction. Mono-PEG-hGLP-2 synthesized under optimal reaction conditions and separated by one-step ion-exchange chromatography was found to be resistant to degradation in vitro. Pretreatment with Mono-PEG-hGLP-2 reduced the severity of radiation-induced intestinal injury, oxidative stress, and the expression of NF-κB in rats with irradiation-induced acute radiation enteritis. The enhanced biological potency of Mono-PEG-hGLP-2 highlights its potential as a therapeutic agent for intestinal diseases.
