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

Growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor, have considerable therapeutic potential for repairing mucosal injury in the intestine when given systemically. Recently, several lectins have been shown to have trophic effects on the intestine when given orally. We examined the effects of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con-A) on indomethacin-induced intestinal injury in rat. Five-week-old rats were randomized to four groups (n=5), and intestinal injury was induced by indomethacin injection in three of these groups. Elemental diet (ED) feeding was then commenced. The groups were thus ED feeding/indomethacin untreated (control group), ED feeding/indomethacin treated (ED group), 0.1% PHA-supplemented ED feeding/indomethacin treated (PHA group) and 0.1% Con-A-supplemented ED feeding/indomethacin treated (Con-A group). After 7 days of feeding, macroscopic inflammatory scores, mucosal permeability, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and cell proliferation were determined. Macroscopic inflammatory scores, mucosal permeability and MPO activities were significantly lower in both lectin groups than that in control group. Twenty-four hour excretion rate of phenolsulphonphthalein was significantly lower in both lectin groups than that in ED group. Cell proliferation of the small intestine was significantly increased by both lectins. Lectin supplementation can induce ulcer healing following indomethacin-induced damage.
