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

aimThe aim of this investigation was to examine the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on the development of colitis and antioxidant parameters in bilateral ovariectomized rats subjected to trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-one Wistar Albino ovariectomized female rats were divided into four subgroups (n = 5 or 6) (colitis control, vehicle control, CAPE 10 and 30 mg/kg, respectively). Colitis was induced using an enema of TNBS and ethanol, following which CAPE was administrated for 3 days to induce colitis and effect of CAPE was subsequently evaluated.

resultsBased on microscopic damage scores, there was no difference between rats of the TNBS-colitis and the vehicle-treated groups, whereas treatment with CAPE 10 and 30 mg/kg, respectively, caused a significant reduction in colon injury compared to that observed in rats of the TNBS-colitis and vehicle-treated groups. The histologies of both treatment groups were not significantly different. In terms of the biochemical analyses, myeloperoxidase levels in rats from the CAPE 10 and 30 mg/kg groups were significantly different from that of the colitis control rats; however, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase and reduced glutathione (GSH) were only significantly different from the levels found colitis control rats in rats administered 10 mg/kg. The levels of MDA, GSH and SOD in rats given CAPE were also significantly different from those of rats in the vehicle control group. These results were consistent with histological findings.

conclusionCAPE may have a positive effect on the inflammatory bowel disease treatment process and could, therefore, be used as an adjunct therapy in colitis. These effects of CAPE may occur through antiinflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms.
