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

Unresolved tissue damage is a common feature of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that facilitates disease progression. Here, we showed that high animal fat diets (HFD), an environmental risk factor associated with IBD pathogenesis, suppress intestinal macrophage production of critical tissue repair responses after damage. This includes reduced IL-23 production, which drives downstream production of IL-22, which is needed for barrier repair. Indicating that dietary lipids interfere with responses to microbial molecules needed to induce barrier protective functions, we found oleic acid could directly suppress macrophage Il23a induction after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. Deleting the lipid transporter CD36 on macrophages restored the Il23a and Il22 response, reducing intestinal damage in HFD-fed DSS-treated mice. We found that CD36-mediated intracellular lipid accumulation, mainly oleic acid, in macrophages leads to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) release of the transcriptional repressor protein B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6). BCL6 suppresses Il23a transcription in microbe-exposed macrophages. The studies suggest dietary lipid modulation of the macrophage PPARδ/BCL6 transcriptional repressor complex is a key mechanism of fat-associated defects in intestinal damage repair and immune dysregulation. Overall, our findings provide new insights into dietary lipid contribution to intestinal disease progression and identify new potential therapeutic targets to decrease diet-associated risk for IBD.
