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

Defective healing of injured mucosa is a hallmark of many pathological conditions, such as ulcerative colitis (UC). Wound healing is a pivotal process that is essential for the reconstruction of epithelial homeostasis following damage to mucous membrane. However, the endogenous metabolites capable of expediting intestinal mucosal healing remain largely undefined. The aim of this study is to identify a pro-repair metabolite to accelerate colonic wound healing. The investigation reveals that the serum levels of 7-ketodeoxycholic acid (7-KDCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA), and lithocholic acid (LCA) are depleted in patients with UC and colitic mice relative to controls. Among the three bile acids, 7-KDCA exhibits the most conspicuous, which is correlated with disease severity. 7-KDCA treatment exerts the strongest promotion of mucosal healing in mice with dextran sulfate sodium-induced mucosal damage or biopsy-induced colonic wounding injury. Mechanistically, 7-KDCA functions by driving intestinal epithelial cell migration through induction of calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum via targeting the TGR5-IP3R axis. Amidst the array of endogenous metabolites potentially active in progression of UC, 7-KDCA stands out as the preeminent facilitator in the healing of colonic mucosa. This finding may hold clinical significance for treating mucosal defect-related diseases, including UC.
