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

Recent study indicated that glutamine prevents alcoholic tissue injury in mouse gut and liver. Here we investigated the potential role of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in glutamine-mediated prevention of ethanol-induced colonic barrier dysfunction, endotoxemia and liver damage. Wild-type and EGFR*Tg transgenic (expressing dominant negative EGFR) mice were fed 1-6% ethanol in Lieber-DeCarli diet. Gut permeability was measured by vascular-to-luminal flux of FITC-inulin, and junctional integrity assessed by confocal microscopy. Liver injury was evaluated by plasma transaminases, histopathology and triglyceride analyses. Glutamine effect on acetaldehyde-induced tight junction disruption was investigated in Caco-2 cell monolayers. Doxycycline-induced expression of EGFR* blocked glutamine-mediated prevention of ethanol-induced disruption of colonic epithelial tight junction, mucosal permeability and endotoxemia. Ethanol activated cofilin and disrupted actin cytoskeleton, which was blocked by glutamine in an EGFR-dependent mechanism. Ethanol down-regulated antioxidant gene expression and up-regulated cytokine and chemokine gene expression, which were blocked by glutamine in wild-type mice in the presence or absence of doxycycline, but not in EGFR*Tg mice in the presence of doxycycline. Histopathology, plasma transaminases, triglyceride and expression of chemokine and antioxidant genes indicated ethanol-induced liver damage, which were blocked by glutamine in an EGFR-dependent mechanism. Src kinase activity and extracellular ligand binding domain of EGFR are required for glutamine-mediated protection of barrier function in Caco-2 cell monolayers. Glutamine released metalloproteinases into the medium, and metalloproteinase inhibitors blocked glutamine-mediated protection of barrier function. Results demonstrate that EGFR plays an important role in glutamine-mediated prevention of alcoholic gut permeability, endotoxemia and liver damage.
