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

E-cadherin, an epithelial adhesion molecule, is critical for the maintenance of cell polarity and differentiation. We studied the distribution of E-cadherin in normal gut and in enteric ulceration to test the hypothesis that the motility of regenerative epithelium over ulcers is associated with a decrease in E-cadherin expression. Sections of normal stomach, small intestine, and colon were examined for E-cadherin distribution using the antibody HECD-1 and compared with the pattern seen in peptic ulceration and Crohn's disease. A subset was examined by in situ hybridization using 35S radiolabeled E-cadherin riboprobes. A wounding system employing the HT-29 cell line was used as an in vitro model of early healing. In the normal gut uniform strong basolateral staining was seen. Areas of ulceration showed a patchy reduction in membrane localized E-cadherin in regenerating epithelium, even though E-cadherin mRNA was demonstrable in this population. In wounded confluent HT29 layers, migrating cells also showed reduced E-cadherin immunostaining. These data support the notion that the motility of restitutive epithelial cells may relate to altered patterns of E-cadherin and that this may play an important role in the reconstitution of epithelial integrity after mucosal injury.
