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.

Abstract

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a multi-factorial inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of taurine, an anti-oxidant amino acid, on oxidative stress and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) in colon tissue in rats with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. Rats received taurine (1.5% w/v) in drinking water for 15 days before and 15 days after administration of TNBS solution. Then, colonic myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, and Bax and Bcl-2 expression were measured. TNBS-induced colitis caused significantly increased MPO activity and MDA levels and decreased GSH levels in colon tissue compared to controls. Increase in Bax expression and decrease in Bcl-2 expression were detected in colon of rats with TNBS-induced colitis. Taurine treatment was associated with amelioration in macroscopic and microscopic colitis scores, decreased colonic MPO activity and MDA levels and increased GSH levels in TNBS-induced colitis. In addition, taurine reduced the expression of Bax and prevented the loss of Bcl-2 proteins in colon tissue of rats with TNBS-induced colitis. The results of this study show that taurine administration may exert beneficial effects in UC by decreasing inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress and apoptosis.
