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

Background: Impaired intestinal barrier integrity plays a crucial role in the development of many diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and type 2 diabetes. Thus, protecting the intestinal barrier from pathological disruption is of great significance. Tryptophan can increase gut barrier integrity, enhance intestinal absorption, and decrease intestinal inflammation. However, the mechanism of tryptophan in decreasing intestinal barrier damage and inflammatory response remains largely unknown. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that tryptophan can enhance intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and decrease inflammatory response mediated by the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR)/Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1)/phospholipase Cγ1 (PLC-γ1) signaling pathway. Methods: IPEC-J2 cells were treated with or without enterotoxigenic Results: The results showed that ETEC K88 decreased the protein concentration of occludin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), claudin-1, CaSR, total Rac1, Rho family member 1 of porcine GTP-binding protein (GTP-rac1), phosphorylated phospholipase Cγ1 (p-PLC-γ1), and inositol triphosphate (IP Conclusion: Tryptophan can improve intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and decrease inflammatory response through the CaSR/Rac1/PLC-γ1 signaling pathway.
