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

The current study aims to determine the healing activity of water soluble polysaccharide-rich fraction of a wild mushroom, Termitomyces eurhizus (TEps) against the indomethacin induced gastric ulceration in mice model. Gastric tissue histology, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, cyclooxygenases (COX) 1 and 2 expression, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis, and modulation of pro/anti inflammatory cytokines expression were studied for this purpose. Histological study shows that TEps (20 mg/kg) effectively healed the gastric ulceration. Based on biochemical results, the healing capacities of TEps could be attributed to reduction of MPO activity and protection of mucosal mucin content. Enhanced synthesis of PGE2 by modulation of COX-1 and COX-2 expression and a prominent shift of cytokines expression from pro (TNF-α, IL-1ß) to anti inflammatory (IL-10) side are also held responsible for ulcer healing. The preliminary study highlights the anti-ulcerogenic property of polysaccharide-rich fraction of Termitomyces eurhizus and opens an alternative cure for NSAID induced gastroduodenal diseases.
