Fibrogenesis in Human Mucosa and Muscularis Precision-Cut Intestinal Slices.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In Crohn's Disease (CD), intestinal fibrosis is a prevalent yet unresolved complication arising from chronic and transmural inflammation. The histological assessment of CD intestines shows changes in tissue morphology in all the layers, including the mucosa and muscularis. This study aimed to determine the differences in fibrogenesis between mucosa and muscularis. Human precision-cut intestinal slices (hPCIS) were prepared from human intestine mucosa and muscularis and treated with TGF-β1 and/or PDGF-BB for 72 h. Gene and protein expression and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity were determined. The basal gene expression of various fibrosis markers was higher in muscularis compared to mucosa hPCIS. During incubation, Pro-Collagen-1A1 secretion increased in muscularis but not in mucosa hPCIS. MMP gene expression increased during incubation in mucosa and muscularis hPCIS, except for MMP9, MMP12, and MMP13 in muscularis hPCIS. Incubation with TGF-β1 caused increased COL1A1 expression in the mucosa but not in muscularis hPCIS. In muscularis hPCIS, TGF-β1 treatment caused a decrease in MMP1 and CTSK expression, while MMP13 was increased. In the presence of TGF-β1, protease inhibitor expression was stable, except for SERPINE1, which was increased in muscularis hPCIS. We conclude that fibrogenesis is more pronounced in muscularis hPCIS compared to mucosa hPCIS, especially when stimulated with TGF-β1.
