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

Endotoxemia is a severe inflammation response induced by infection especially bacterial endotoxin translocation, which severely increases mortality in combination with acute colon injury. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an important Bromo and Extra-Terminal (BET) protein to participate in inflammatory responses. However, it is still unknown about the specific connection between BRD4 and inflammation-related pyroptosis in endotoxemia colon. Here, through evaluating the mucous morphology and the expression of tight junction proteins such as occludin and ZO1, we found the upregulation of BRD4 in damaged colon with poor tight junction in an endotoxemia mouse model induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Firstly, the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 was used to effectively protect colon tight junction in endotoxemia. As detected, high levels of pro-inflammation cytokines IL6, IL1β and IL18 in endotoxemia colon were reversed by JQ1 pretreatment. In addition, JQ1 injection reduced endotoxemia-induced elevation of the phosphorylated NF κB and NLRP3/ASC/caspase 1 inflammasome complex in colon injury. Furthermore, activated pyroptosis markers gasdermins in endotoxemia colon were also blocked by JQ1 pretreatment. Together, our data indicate that BRD4 plays a critical role in regulating pyroptosis-related colon injury induced by LPS, and JQ1 as a BRD4 inhibitors can effectively protect colon from endotoxemia-induced inflammation injury.
