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

backgroundThe transcellular transport of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) mediated by peptide transporter (PepT1) involves the translocation into intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) stage and the transport out of IEC stage. However, its mechanism has not been fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the pathways and mechanisms of MDP transcellular transport in enterogenous infection.

methodsFirstly, experimental rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation (sham group), MDP perfusion (MDP group), and PepT1 competitive inhibition (MDP + Gly-Gly group). Then, the overall survival (OS) and intestinal weight were measured in MDP and MDP + Gly-Gly group. HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes of the small intestine. The levels of IL-6, IL-1b, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, and nitric oxide (NO) in rat serum and small intestine were determined by ELISA. To further verify the pathways and mechanisms of MDP transcellular transport from IEC in intestinal inflammatory damage, the NFκB inhibitor, PDTC, was used to treated lamina propria macrophages in small intestinal mucosa in sham, MDP, and MDP + Gly-Gly groups. Finally, the expression of CD80/86 and the antigen presentation of dendritic cells (DCs) were measured by flow cytometry.

resultsMDP infusion was able to induce death, weight loss, and intestinal pathological injury in rats. Competitive binding of Gly-Gly to PepT1 effectively inhibited these effects induced by MDP. As well, competitive of PepT1 by Gly-Gly inhibited inflammation-related cytokines induced by MDP in rat serum and small intestine. Furthermore, we also found that MDP transported by PepT1 contributes to activation of macrophages and antigen presentation of DCs.

conclusionsPepT1-NFκB signal is pivotal for activation of intestinal inflammatory response and MDP transcellular transport.
