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

purposeC9orf72 deficiency contributes to severe inflammation in mice. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with the shortage of clinical success. However, whether C9orf72 is involved in the progression of UC is not fully understood. This study investigated whether C9orf72 could alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced colitis in Caco-2 cells.

methodsMice were injected AAV9-C9orf72 lentivirus through tail vein and fed 3% DSS for a week. Caco-2 cells were cultured to establish C9orf723 overexpressed model. Histopathological examination, level of inflammation, cGAS-STING pathway, and gut barrier function were detected in mice and cells.

resultsC9orf72 overexpression in mice attenuated DSS-induced colitis and intestinal epithelial barrier damage by stimulating ZO-1 and Occludin expression. In LPS-induced Caco-2 cells, C9orf72 overexpression increased cell viability and the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin. C9orf72 overexpression alleviated inflammation by inhibiting the cGAS-STING pathway in colonic tissue and Caco-2 cells.

conclusionC9orf72 overexpression attenuated DSS-induced colitis and intestinal epithelial barrier damage by inhibiting the cGAS-STING pathway. C9orf72 may present a target for mitigating UC.
