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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of humans is a chronic and devastating disease of unknown etiology. Models of acute colitis in animals have been achieved by intrarectal administration of agents such as 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) into rat colon. This agent induces focal inflammation and alterations in the colon with features similar to those found in chronic inflammatory diseases in humans. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of TNBS administration on histological and ultrastructural features of the rat colon, especially in areas not affected by transmural inflammation. Also in areas without transmural inflammation, we observed a significant increase in crypt diameter and in the number and area of the goblet cells, as well as alterations in the contents of mucin in goblet cells. We conclude that TNBS treatment in rats led to severe changes in normal architecture of the colon and also in damaged areas where no direct inflammation was produced.
