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

purposeVitamin E with its antioxidant action has therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis (UC), but use of vitamin E is limited because of its insolubility in water. We developed ETS-GS (γ-L-glutamyl-S-[2-[[[3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-trimethyltri-decyl)-2 H-1-benzopyran-6-yl]oxy]carbonyl]-3-oxo-3-[(2-sulfoethyl)amino]propyl]-L-cysteinylglycine sodium salt), a newly synthesized soluble vitamin E derivative with strong antioxidant action. We evaluated the therapeutic effects of bolus injection of ETS-GS on acute severe UC in a mouse model.

methodsAn animal model of acute severe UC was induced by feeding mice 5 % dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 5 days, followed by 1 % DSS on days 5-8, the experimental period. ETS-GS or saline was administered by subcutaneous bolus injection during the experimental period. We examined disease activity index (DAI) score, histological score, colon length, colon weight, and serum cytokines in the mice.

resultsThe following results at day 8 in the DSS + ETS-GS group were significantly lower than those in the DSS + Saline group: DAI score, 2.6 ± 0.6 vs. 3.1 ± 0.5; histological score, 2.1 ± 1.0 vs. 3.1 ± 0.8; serum interleukin (IL)-6, 15 ± 9.4 vs. 39 ± 23 pg/ml; and keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), 122 ± 61 vs. 228 ± 66 pg/ml (P < 0.05). Colon length, colon weight, and serum IL-10 in the DSS + ETS-GS group were significantly higher than those in the DSS + Saline group (88 ± 12 vs. 75 ± 5.7 mm, 0.48 ± 0.09 vs. 0.38 ± 0.05 g, and 55 ± 18 vs. 31 ± 10 pg/ml, respectively; P < 0.05).

conclusionsBolus injection of ETS-GS may be one therapeutic modality for acute severe UC. Its effects are associated with suppression of serum IL-6 and serum KC and promotion of serum IL-10.
