The role of protein arginine deiminase 4-dependent neutrophil extracellular traps formation in ulcerative colitis.

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.
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: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in the development and progression of ulcerative colitis (UC). Peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is essential for the formation of NETs via catalyzing histone citrullination. This study mainly to explore the role of PAD4-mediated NETs in intestinal inflammation of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC. Methods: Acute and chronic colitis mouse models were established by supplementing DSS in drinking water. Colon tissues from colitis mice were analyzed for the level of PAD4 expression, citrullinated histone H3(Cit-H3), intestinal histopathology, and inflammatory cytokines secretion. Serum samples were tested for systemic neutrophil activation biomarkers. Colitis mice administered with Cl-amidine, a PAD4 inhibitor, and PAD4 knockout mice were investigated to detect NETs formation, intestinal inflammation, and barrier function. Result: We found the formation of NETs significantly increased in DSS-induced colitis mice and was correlated with disease markers. Blocking NETs formation by Cl-amidine or PAD4 genetic knockout could alleviate clinical colitis index, intestinal inflammation, and barrier dysfunction. Conclusion: This study provided a research basis for the role of PAD4-mediated NETs formation in the pathogenesis of UC and suggested that inhibition of PAD4 activity and the formation of NETs may be helpful for the prevention and treatment of UC.
