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

Background and Aims: Intestinal permeability dysfunction is a central pathogenic driver of Crohn's disease (CD), fueling microbial translocation, chronic inflammation, and progressive tissue injury. While current therapies suppress inflammation, none directly restore epithelial barrier function. Importantly, in patients with CD, epithelial barrier healing rather than mucosal healing is associated with long-term remission and a reduced risk of disease complications. Yet permeability barrier healing remains an unaddressed therapeutic target in CD. Here, we investigated whether pharmacologic inhibition of the integrated stress response (ISR) and RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, 2 convergent pathways of epithelial injury, can promote epithelial viability, regeneration, and barrier integrity in CD. Methods: We employed villin-1/gelsolin double knockout mice with epithelial-intrinsic ISR activation, Results: Chronic ISR activation and necroptosis were prominent in both murine models and CD PDEs, causing epithelial death, Paneth cell expansion, impaired enteroid survival, and regenerative failure. Pharmacologic inhibition with integrated stress response inhibitor, necrostatin-1, pazopanib, or ponatinib restored villus architecture, reduced inflammation, enhanced epithelial survival and regeneration, and significantly improved transepithelial electrical resistance. Conclusion: ISR activation and RIPK3-mediated necroptosis converge to drive epithelial injury and barrier dysfunction in CD. Repurposing pazopanib and ponatinib offers a potentially translatable approach to restore barrier integrity in CD.
