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

Endotoxins are toxic substances that widely exist in the environment and can enter the intestine with food and other substances. Intestinal epithelial cells are protected by a mucus layer that contains MUC2 as its main structural component. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in the function of the mucus barrier in endotoxin penetration is lacking. Here, we established the most suitable proportion of Caco-2/HT-29 co-culture cells as a powerful tool to evaluate the intestinal mucus layer. Our findings significantly advance current knowledge as focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction were identified as the two most significantly implicated pathways in MUC2 small interfering RNA (siRNA)-transfected Caco-2/HT-29 co-culture cells after 24 h of LPS stimulation. When the mucus layer was not intact, LPS was found to damage the tight junctions of Caco-2/HT29 co-cultured cells. Furthermore, LPS was demonstrated to inhibit the integrin-mediated focal adhesion structure and damage the matrix network structure of the extracellular and actin microfilament skeletons. Ultimately, LPS inhibited the interactive communication between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton for 24 h in the siMUC2 group compared with the LPS(+) and LPS(-) groups. Overall, we recognized the potential of MUC2 as a tool for barrier function in several intestinal bacterial diseases.
