Propofol Regulates the TLR4/NF-κB Pathway Through miRNA-155 to Protect Colorectal Cancer Intestinal Barrier.

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.
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
Surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) can cause damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier and lead to bacterial invasion. This study mainly analyzed whether propofol (PPF) could protect the intestinal mucosal barrier damage caused by CRC surgery, and explored its molecular mechanism. A mouse CRC model was constructed using azomethane and dextran sulfate sodium. During anesthesia, continuous intravenous injection of PPF was used for intervention. The influences of PPF on intestinal mucosal permeability and bacterial invasion were detected. The levels of microRNA (miR)-155, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB in the intestinal mucosa, and the location of miR-155 were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Mouse macrophages were used to analyze the regulation of miR-155 on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines through the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. PPF treatment promoted the expression of tight junction protein in the intestinal mucosa, protected the intestinal barrier, inhibited the translocation of intestinal bacteria, and increased the level of the beneficial bacterium Lactobacillus on the mucosal surface. In addition, PPF treatment could inhibit the expression of miR-155, TLR4/NF-KB, and reverse inflammatory response. miR-155 was expressed in macrophages of intestinal mucosa tissue. Overexpression of miR-155 promoted the nuclear translocation of NF-κB and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. The use of VIPER to inhibit TLR4 reversed the pro-inflammatory effects of miR-155. PPF might inhibit the activation of the NF-κB pathway by downregulating miR-155 expression, thereby reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. This might be the mechanism by which PPF protected the intestinal barrier of CRC surgical model mice.
