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

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a potent inducer of cell migration with morphogenic and mitogenic actions was reported to have key roles in the repair of various tissues. In order to evaluate the role of HGF in the repair process of inflammatory bowel disease, we have investigated the HGF expression in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis model. We randomly assigned rats to a colitis group or to a placebo group; the former received a 7-day course of 5% DSS (mw 5 kDa) in drinking water. DSS-induced severe colitis in rats manifested with weight loss, diarrhea, and intestinal bleeding. Animals were killed from day 1 through 7 and on days 9 and 14 after the end of DSS administration. After DSS was withdrawn, disease activity subsided gradually and HGF expression was significantly enhanced along with the augmented expression of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and cyclooxygenase-2, accompanied by an increased number of proliferating epithelial cells in colon. These findings suggest that proinflammatory cytokines and cyclooxygenase-2 may have an important role in the mucosal repair in inflammatory bowel disease through increased production of HGF.
