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

backgroundUptake of riboflavin (RF) by intestinal epithelial cells occurs via a specific carrier-mediated process that involves the apically localized RF transporter-3 (RFVT3). Previous studies have shown that sodium butyrate (NaB) affects intestinal uptake of other substrates and expression of their membrane transporters, but its effect on intestinal uptake of RF and expression of RFVT3 has not been examined.

aimsTo investigate the effect of NaB on intestinal RF uptake process and expression of the RFVT3.

methodsTwo experimental models were used in this study: Human-derived intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and ex vivo mouse colonoids.

resultsTreating Caco-2 cells with NaB led to a significant increase in carrier-mediated RF uptake. This increase was associated with a significant induction in the level of expression of the hRFVT3 protein, mRNA, and heterogenous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Similarly, treating mouse colonoids with NaB led to a marked increase in the level of expression of the mRFVT3 protein, mRNA, and hnRNA. NaB did not affect hRFVT3 mRNA stability, rather it caused significant epigenetic changes (histone modifications) in the SLC52A3 gene where an increase in H3Ac and a reduction in H3K27me3 levels were observed in the NaB-treated Caco-2 cells compared to untreated controls.

conclusionThese findings demonstrate that NaB up-regulates intestinal RF uptake and that the effect appears to be mediated, at least in part, at the level of transcription of the SLC52A3 gene and may involve epigenetic mechanism(s).
