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

background and purposeMesalamine is the first-line therapy for colitis, but it lacks potency and is only effective for mild-to-moderate forms of this disease. Hydrogen sulphide has been shown to be a potent, endogenous anti-inflammatory substance, modulating leukocyte-endothelial adhesion and leukocyte migration. The purpose of this study was to determine if an H(2)S-releasing derivative of mesalamine (ATB-429) would exhibit increased potency and effectiveness in a mouse model of colitis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Colitis was induced in mice with trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid and the effects of ATB-429 and mesalamine were compared in several treatment regimens. The severity of colitis was determined using several indices, including a disease activity score (comprised of scores for diarrhea, weight loss and fecal blood), colonic myeloperoxidase activity and macroscopic/microscopic scoring of tissue injury. KEY

resultsIrrespective of the treatment regiment, ATB-429 was more effective than mesalamine in reducing the severity of colitis. ATB-429 was particularly effective in reducing granulocyte infiltration into the colonic tissue (by approximately 70%), as well as reducing the expression of mRNA for several key proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines (e.g., TNFalpha, IFNgamma). Treatment with ADT-OH, the H(2)S-releasing moiety of ATB-429, did not affect severity of colitis. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: ATB-429 exhibits a marked increase in anti-inflammatory activity and potency in a murine model of colitis, as compared to mesalamine. These results are consistent with recently described anti-inflammatory effects of H(2)S. ATB-429 may represent an attractive alternative to mesalamine for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
