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

introductionSalmonella spp. pose major public health problems worldwide. A better understanding of the pathogenesis of these foodborne pathogens is a prerequisite for the design of improved intervention strategies that could reduce the use of antimicrobial agents and drug-resistant Salmonellosis. Accumulating evidence indicates that vitamin D is involved in regulating innate immunity, and may, therefore, play a key role in human responses to infection. Studies have suggested 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), the active form of vitamin D, effectively ameliorates colitis. These findings have broad implications for the use of vitamin D compounds in colitis. This study investigated the effect of active vitamin D3 on the severity of Salmonella colitis.

methodsA Salmonella colitis model was established with 6-8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice: Streptomycin-pretreated C57BL/6 mice were infected orally with Salmonella enterica serova Typhimurium wild-type strain SL1344 for 48 h. The mice were randomly assigned to control, model, and 1,25(OH)

resultsWe observed that 1,25D3 reduced the severity of Salmonella colitis in C57BL/6 mice by reducing cecal mIL-1beta, mIL-6, mTNF-alpha, and mIL-8 mRNA expressions, bacterial colonization (CFU/mg tissue) in the liver and spleen, but increased the human β-defensin-2 mRNA and autophagy protein expression, compared to those of the SL1344 infection only.

conclusionsOur results document that active vitamin D3 reduced Salmonella colitis by decreasing inflammation, and bacterial translocation via induction of killing and autophagic clearance of pathogenic organisms.
