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

backgroundInterleukin-28A (IL-28A or interferon-λ2) is reported to maintain intestinal mucosal homeostasis. However, the effects and mechanisms of IL-28A on intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) have not yet been studied.

methodsAdult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: sham, I/R, and I/R+IL-28A (n=5 in each group). The I/R+IL-28A group mice were injected with recombinant mouse IL-28A 12 hours before the operation. Mice were sacrificed 6 hours after reperfusion. The mucosal permeability was investigated, and histology analyses were performed. Additionally, a hypoxic Caco-2 cell culture model was established. Fludarabine was used to inhibit phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (pSTAT1). The expression of IL-28A, tight junctions (TJs), and pSTAT1 was assessed by western blot, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, or immunofluorescence staining. Epithelial permeability was measured by transepithelial electrical resistance (TER).

resultsThe expression of IL-28A was decreased in intestinal lamina propria in the I/R group compared with the control group. Administration of IL-28A significantly alleviated the I/R-induced increase in intestinal permeability and tissue damage. Treatment with IL-28A significantly attenuated intestinal I/R-induced disruption of TJ proteins, including zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), occludin, and claudin-1.

conclusionsIntestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction caused by intestinal I/R is ameliorated by IL-28A via the regulation of claudin-1.
