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

Polyamines regulate a variety of physiological functions and are involved in pathogenesis of diverse human diseases. The epithelium of the mammalian gut mucosa is a rapidly self-renewing tissue in the body, and its homeostasis is preserved through well-controlled mechanisms. Here, we highlight the roles of cellular polyamines in maintaining the integrity of the gut epithelium, focusing on the emerging evidence of polyamines in the regulation of gut epithelial renewal and barrier function. Gut mucosal growth depends on the available supply of polyamines to the dividing cells in the crypts, and polyamines are also essential for normal gut epithelial barrier function. Polyamines modulate expression of various genes encoding growth-associated proteins and intercellular junctions via distinct mechanisms involving RNA-binding proteins and noncoding RNAs. With the rapid advance of polyamine biology, polyamine metabolism and transport are promising therapeutic targets in our efforts to protect the gut epithelium and barrier function in patients with critical illnesses.
