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

Innervation of the intestinal mucosa has gained more attention with demonstrations of tuft and enteroendocrine cell innervation. However, the role(s) these fibers play in maintaining the epithelial and mucus barriers are still poorly understood. This study therefore examines the proximity of mouse ileal goblet cells to neuronal fibers, and the regulation of goblet cell production by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). An organotypic intestinal slice model that maintains the cellular diversity of the intestinal wall ex vivo was used. An ex vivo copper-free click-reaction to label glycosaminoglycans was used to identify goblet cells. Pharmacological treatment of slices was used to assess the influence of VIP receptor antagonism on goblet cell production and neuronal fiber proximity. Goblet cells were counted and shown to have at least one peripherin immunoreactive fiber within 3 µm of the cell, 51% of the time. Treatment with a VIP receptor type I and II antagonist (VPACa) resulted in an increase in the percentage of goblet cells with peripherin fibers. Pharmacological treatments altered goblet cell counts in intestinal crypts and villi, with tetrodotoxin and VPACa substantially decreasing goblet cell counts. When cultured with 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) as an indicator of cell proliferation, colocalization of labeled goblet cells and EdU in ileal crypts was decreased by 77% when treated with VPACa. This study demonstrates a close relationship of intestinal goblet cells to neuronal fibers. By using organotypic slices from mouse ileum, vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor regulation of gut wall goblet cell production was revealed.
