Ameliorative effects of bombesin and neurotensin on trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid-induced colitis, oxidative damage and apoptosis in rats.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
aimTo investigate the effects of bombesin (BBS) and neurotensin (NTS) on apoptosis and colitis in an ulcerative colitis model.
methodsIn this study, a total of 50 rats were divided equally into 5 groups. In the control group, no colitis induction or drug administration was performed. Colitis was induced in all other groups. Following the induction of colitis, BBS, NTS or both were applied to three groups of rats. The remaining group (colitis group) received no treatment. On the 11th d after induction of colitis and drug treatment, blood samples were collected for TNF-alpha and IL-6 level studies. Malondialdehyde (MDA), carbonyl, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and caspase-3 activities, as well as histopathological findings, evaluated in colonic tissues.
resultsAccording to the macroscopic and microscopic findings, the study groups treated with BBS, NTS and BBS + NTS showed significantly lower damage and inflammation compared with the colitis group (macroscopic score, 2.1 +/- 0.87, 3.7 +/- 0.94 and 2.1 +/- 0.87 vs 7.3 +/- 0.94; microscopic score, 2.0 +/- 0.66, 3.3 +/- 0.82 and 1.8 +/- 0.63 vs 5.2 +/- 0.78, P < 0.01). TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels were increased significantly in all groups compared with the control group. These increases were significantly smaller in the BBS, NTS and BBS + NTS groups compared with the colitis group (TNF-alpha levels, 169.69 +/- 53.56, 245.86 +/- 64.85 and 175.54 +/- 42.19 vs 556.44 +/- 49.82; IL-6 levels, 443.30 +/- 53.99, 612.80 +/- 70.39 and 396.80 +/- 78.43 vs 1505.90 +/- 222.23, P < 0.05). The colonic MPO and MDA levels were significantly lower in control, BBS, NTS and BBS + NTS groups than in the colitis group (MPO levels, 24.36 +/- 8.10, 40.51 +/- 8.67 and 25.83 +/- 6.43 vs 161.47 +/- 38.24; MDA levels, 4.70 +/- 1.41, 6.55 +/- 1.12 and 4.51 +/- 0.54 vs 15.60 +/- 1.88, P < 0.05). Carbonyl content and caspase-3 levels were higher in the colitis and NTS groups than in control, BBS and BBS + NTS groups (carbonyl levels, 553.99 +/- 59.58 and 336.26 +/- 35.72 vs 209.76 +/- 30.92, 219.76 +/- 25.77 and 220.34 +/- 36.95; caspase-3 levels, 451.70 +/- 68.27 and 216.20 +/- 28.17 vs 28.60 +/- 6.46, 170.50 +/- 32.37 and 166.50 +/- 30.95, P < 0.05).
conclusionThe results of this study suggest BBS and NTS, through their anti-inflammatory actions, support the maintenance of colonic integrity and merit consideration as potential agents for ameliorating colonic inflammation.
