Effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on cytoprotective factors in rats with duodenal ulcer.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
aimTo investigate the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on cytoprotective factors in rats with duodenal ulcer.
methodsSprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation without ginkgo, sham operation with ginkgo, duodenal ulcer without ginkgo, and duodenal ulcer with ginkgo. Rats with duodenal ulcer were induced by 500 mL/L acetic acid. Rats with ginkgo were intravenously injected with Ginkgo biloba extract from the tail at a dose of 0.5 mg/(kg/d) for 7 and 14 days.
resultsPathological result showed that duodenal ulcer rats with ginkgo improved mucosal healing and inflammation compared with those without ginkgo after 7 d treatment. After 14 d treatment, duodenal ulcer rats with ginkgo significantly increased weight gain (34.0+/-4.5 g versus 24.5+/-9.5 g, P<0.05) compared with those without ginkgo. Duodenal ulcer rats significantly increased cell proliferation (27.4+/-4.0 and 27.8+/-2.3 BrdU-labeled cells in duodenal ulcer rats with and without ginkgo versus 22.4+/-3.5 and 20.8+/-0.5 BrdU-labeled cells in sham operation rats with and without ginkgo, P<0.05) compared with sham operation rats. Mucosal prostaglandin E(2) concentration significantly increased by 129% (P<0.05) in duodenal ulcer rats with ginkgo compared with that in those without ginkgo. Duodenal ulcer rats without ginkgo significantly decreased superoxide dismutase activity in the duodenal mucosa and erythrocytes (19.4+/-6.7 U/mg protein versus 38.1+/-18.9 U/mg protein in the duodenal mucosa, and 4.87+/-1.49 U/mg protein versus 7.78+/-2.16 U/mg protein in erythrocytes, P<0.05) compared with sham operation rats without ginkgo. However, duodenal ulcer rats with ginkgo significantly increased erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity (8.22+/-1.92 U/mg protein versus 4.87+/-1.49 U/mg protein, P<0.05) compared with those without ginkgo. Duodenal ulcer rats without ginkgo significantly increased plasma lipid peroxides (4.18+/-1.12 micromol/mL versus 1.60+/-1.10 micromol/mL and 1.80+/-0.73 micromol/mL, P<0.05) compared with sham operation rats without ginkgo and duodenal ulcer rats with ginkgo during the experimental period.
conclusionGinkgo biloba extract can improve weight gain and mucosal healing in duodenal ulcer rats by the actions of cytoprotection and antioxidation.
