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

Inflammation drives the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The current study examined changes in intestinal inflammation during NASH. In male C57BL/6J mice, feeding a methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCD) resulted in severe hepatic steatosis and inflammation relative to feeding a chow diet (CD). MCD-fed mice exhibited characteristics of mucosal and submucosal inflammatory responses compared with CD-fed mice. Moreover, intestinal phosphorylation states of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase p46 and mRNA levels of IL-1B, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were significantly higher and intestinal mRNA levels of IL-4 and IL-13 were significantly lower in MCD-fed mice compared with those in CD mice. Surprisingly, upon treatment with MCD-mimicking media, the proinflammatory responses in cultured intestinal epithelial CMT-93 cells did not differ significantly from those in CMT-93 cells treated with control media. In contrast, in RAW264.7 macrophages, MCD-mimicking media significantly increased the phosphorylation states of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase p46 and mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and mRNA levels of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor alpha under either basal or lipopolysaccharide-stimulated conditions. Collectively, these results suggest that increased intestinal inflammation is associated with NASH phenotype. Thus, elevated proinflammatory responses in macrophages likely contribute to, in large part, increased intestinal inflammation in NASH.
