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

Rebamipide is an antiulcer drug capable of various actions including the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). In this study, we investigated the effect of rebamipide on gastric ulcer healing in COX-2-deficient mice. Wild-type (N=34) and COX-2-deficient mice (N=28) with gastric ulcers were administered 30 mg/kg of rebamipide or the vehicle. Ulcerous tissues were subjected to measurements of ulcer size, immunohistochemical staining of CD31 (an endothelial cell marker), and mRNA levels. COX-2 deficiency delayed ulcer healing and inhibited angiogenesis and bFGF mRNA expression in the granulation tissue. In wild-type mice, rebamipide accelerated ulcer healing and increased COX-2 mRNA expression. In COX-2-deficient mice, rebamipide prevented delayed ulcer healing and reversed the inhibition in angiogenesis and bFGF mRNA expression. The effect of rebamipide on the enhancement of ulcer healing, angiogenesis, and induction of bFGF expression was more prominent in wild-type mice than in COX-2-deficient mice. In conclusion, rebamipide may accelerate gastric ulcer healing through both COX-2-dependent and COX-2-independent mechanisms.
