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

High-fat exposure leads to impaired intestinal barrier function by disrupting the function of intestinal stem cells (ISCs); however, the exact mechanism of this phenomenon is still not known. We hypothesize that high concentrations of deoxycholic acid (DCA) in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) affect aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signalling in ISCs and the intestinal barrier. For this purpose, C57BL/6J mice feeding on a low-fat diet (LFD), an HFD, an HFD with the bile acid binder cholestyramine, and a LFD with the DCA were studied. We found that high-fat feeding induced an increase in faecal DCA concentrations. An HFD or DCA diet disrupted the differentiation function of ISCs by downregulating AHR signalling, which resulted in decreased goblet cells (GCs) and MUC2, and these changes were reversed by cholestyramine. In vitro experiments showed that DCA downregulated the differentiation function of ISCs, which was reversed by the AHR agonist 6-formylindolo [3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ). Mechanistically, DCA caused a reduction in indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) in Paneth cells, resulting in paracrine deficiency of the AHR ligand kynurenine in crypts. We demonstrated for the first time that DCA disrupts intestinal mucosal barrier function by interfering with AHR signalling in ISCs. Supplementation with AHR ligands may be a new therapeutic target for HFD-related impaired intestinal barrier function.
