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: Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) is thought to increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. The deletion of Bmal1, a core transcription factor, leads to a complete loss of the circadian rhythm and exacerbates the severity of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. However, the underlying mechanisms by which CRD and Bmal1 mediate IBD are still unclear. Methods: We used a CRD mouse model, a mouse colitis model, and an Results: We found that CRD mice with downregulated Bmal1 expression were more sensitive to DSS-induced colitis and had more severely impaired intestinal barrier function than wild-type mice. Bmal1-/- mice exhibited more severe colitis, accompanied by decreased tight junction protein levels and increased apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells compared with wild-type mice, which were alleviated by using the autophagy agonist rapamycin. Bmal1 overexpression attenuated Lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and impaired intestinal epithelial cells barrier function Conclusion: This study suggests that CRD leads to the downregulation of Bmal1 expression in the colon, which may exacerbate DSS-induced colitis in mice, and that Bmal1 may serve as a novel target for treating inflammatory bowel disease.
