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

Intestinal dysfunction is commonly observed in humans and animals. Glycine (Gly) is a functional amino acid with anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. The objective of this study was to test the protective effects of Gly against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal injury. 28 C57BL/6 mice with a body weight (BW) of 18 ± 2 g were randomly assigned into four groups: CON (control), GLY (orally administered Gly, 5 g/kg BW/day for 6 days), LPS (5 mg/kg BW on day 7, i. p.), and GLY + LPS (Gly pretreatment and LPS administration). Histological alterations, inflammatory responses, epithelial cell apoptosis, and changes of the intestinal microbiota were analyzed. Results showed that, compared with the CON group, mice in the LPS treatment group showed decreased villus height, increased crypt depth, and decreased ratio of villus height to crypt depth, which were significantly attenuated by Gly. Neither LPS nor Gly treatment altered morphology of the distal colon tissues. LPS increased the apoptosis of jejunum and colon epithelial cells and protein abundance of cleaved caspase3 in the jejunum, which were markedly abrogated by Gly. LPS also elevated the mRNA levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines in the jejunum and colon. These alterations were significantly suppressed by Gly. In addition, Gly supplementation attenuated infiltration of CD4
