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

In dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced inflammatory bowel disease in mice the relationship between the amount of ingested DSS and the severity of colitis has not been systematically investigated. We examined whether (1) the severity of colitis is DSS load-dependent, and (2) there is a critical DSS load required to reliably induce colitis. DSS load was calculated as: (drinking volume (ml) x [DSS (g)/100 ml])/body weight (g). A minimum DSS load > or = 30 mg/g body weight over 7 days resulted in a significantly elevated colonic myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, compared to mice receiving less DSS and controls (P < 0.05). Histomorphologic data correlated with MPO activity and revealed significantly higher damage scores once the DSS load was > or = 30 mg/g body weight. Our findings demonstrate the importance of monitoring DSS load in this model of experimental colitis.
