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

OBJECTIVE AND

designThis study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the pure compound salicin on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in a mouse model and to quantify the major gut bacteria during the treatment. MATERIAL OR SUBJECTS: Experimental colitis was induced in Swiss albino mice by dissolving 2 % DSS in their drinking water for 7 days. Five mice were used in each group. TREATMENT: Salicin (100 and 200 mg per body weight) was administered daily through oral gavage for 7 days.

methodsDisease activity index (DAI), colon length, myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay, pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, histological changes and absolute number of gut microbiota were measured after treatment. Student's t test was applied for statistical analysis.

resultsSalicin significantly attenuated DSS-induced DAI scores, shortening of colon length and tissue MPO activity. Salicin administration also effectively and dose-dependently prevented pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in DSS-induced colitis mice. Histological examination indicated that salicin suppressed edema, mucosal damage and the loss of crypts induced by DSS. Oral administration of salicin in DSS-treated mice prevented loss of gut microbiota during the short period of treatment.

conclusionsSalicin has an anti-inflammatory effect, and it may have therapeutic value in ameliorating inflammation during colitis.
