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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing disorder for many people associated with poor health. Although there are some clinical drugs for IBD treatment, the development of effective therapeutics on IBD patients has always been necessary. Here, we show that externalized phosphatidylserine (PS) is observed on the surface of colonic capillaries. Annexin A5 (ANXA5) with high affinity for PS has a good targeting to the colon and effectively alleviates experimental colitis. In contrast, ANXA5 mutant (A5m) lacking the PS-binding ability, has no accumulation in the colon and no therapeutic effects on colitis. Mechanistic investigations indicate that ANXA5 reduces the inflammatory cell infiltration by inhibiting endothelial cell activation dependent on PS-binding ability. With the increasing of PS exposure on activated HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells), ANXA5 binding induces the internalization of TLR4 via PS-dependent endocytosis. We provide new insights on the molecular mechanism of ANXA5 for its anti-inflammatory effect. Our data suggest that PS-externalization is a potential target of ANXA5 aiming at targeted drug delivery (TDD) for IBD treatment.
