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

objectivesTo explore the mechanism of

methodsSixty SD rat models of STC induced by intragastric administration of loperamide hydrochloride suspension were randomized equally into 5 groups for treatment with daily gavage with saline (STC model group), low-, medium-, or high-dose HYTBD, or mosapride (positive control group), with another 12 normal rats receiving saline gavage as the blank control group. The first black stool time, fecal water content and intestinal propulsion rate of the rats were measured, and the ultrastructure of interstitial Cajal cells (ICCs) was observed using transmission electron microscopy to calculate the mitochondrial vacuolar rate. The phagocytosis rate of macrophages was detected using immunofluorescence assay, and colonic pathologies were examined using HE staining. The colonic expression levels of c-Kit, CD47, PI3K and Akt were detected with immunohistochemistry or Western Blotting, and their correlations with efferocytosis were analyzed.

resultsThe rat models of STC showed significant ultrastructural damage of the ICCs with increased first black stool time, mitochondrial vacuolar rate, and colonic expression levels of CD47, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins, lowered fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate and c-Kit expression level, without significant changes in phagocytic rate. Treatment with HYTBD, especially at the high dose, significantly increased fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate, phagocytosis rate and colonic c-Kit expression, and decreased the first black stool time, mitochondrial vacuolar rate, and colonic expressions of CD47, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in the mouse models.

conclusionsHYTBD improves STC in rats possibly by down-regulating colonic CD47 expression and improving macrophage phagocytosis rate via inhibiting PI3K and Akt phosphorylation, thereby promoting efferocytosis of the ICCs.
