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

Oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiology of multiple gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of natural product quercetin on diquat-induced oxidative stress in porcine enterocytes and underlying mechanisms. Intestinal porcine epithelial cell line 1 (IPEC-1) cells pretreated with or without quercetin (5 μM, 24 h) were incubated with vehicle or diquat (100 μM) for 6 h. The results showed that diquat treatment induced apoptosis in a caspase-3-dependent manner, as accompanied by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, increased mitochondrial depolarization, and reduced the abundance of tight junction proteins. These adverse effects of diquat were remarkably abrogated by quercetin administration. Further study indicated that the protective effect of quercetin was associated with elevated protein abundance of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and increased intracellular glutathione (GSH) content. Interestingly, the beneficial effects of quercetin on diquat-induced oxidative damage were abolished by all-trans-retinoic acid (Atra), a specific inhibitor of Nrf2, indicating a Nrf2-dependent regulation manner. The results show that quercetin attenuates diquat-induced cell injury by promoting protein abundance of Nrf2 and regulating GSH-related redox homeostasis in enterocytes. These findings provide new insights into a function role of quercetin in maintaining intestinal homeostasis.
