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

introductionIntestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical event occurring during multiple clinical pathological processes. Here, we designed this paper to discuss the role of G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) playing in intestinal I/R injury.

methodsAn oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell model was established to simulate the pathological process of I/R injury. With the application of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, TUNEL, and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) assays, the levels of inflammatory cytokines, cell apoptosis, and intestinal integrity were estimated. The corresponding proteins were estimated by applying western blot. Immunofluorescence was conducted to examine N-terminal Gasdermin D (GSDMD-N) expression. The interplay between KLF4 and GPR30 was demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation.

resultsThe results showed that GPR30 was downregulated in Caco-2 cells exposed to OGD/R. GPR30 overexpression reduced the production of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-18, the TUNEL-positive cells, as well as the contents of p-p65, Cox-2, Inos, Bax, and cleaved-PARP, but elevated the expression of Bcl-2 in OGD/R-induced Caco-2 cells. In addition, OGD/R-induced the reduction of TEER value and reduced expression of tight junction proteins in Caco-2 cells, which was partially restored by GPR30 overexpression. Furthermore, GPR30 suppressed nod-like receptor pyrin 3 inflammasome and GSDMD-N expression. It was evidenced that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) could directly bind to GPR30 promoter and positively regulate GPR30 expression. The regulation of GPR30 overexpression above was weakened by KLF4 knockdown.

conclusionCollectively, our findings suggested that KLF4 could transcriptionally upregulate GPR30, and GPR30 prevented intestine I/R injury by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis, and maintaining intestinal integrity that provides potential targets for mitigating the I/R injury.
