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
Inflammation plays a critical role in intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory effect. This study examined the effect of EGCG on intestinal IRI and explored the possible mechanisms. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operated group (Sham), IRI control group (IRI) and IRI-EGCG group (EGCG). Rats in IRI-EGCG group were administered dissolved EGCG in drinking water (0.4 mg/mL) for 14 days prior to IRI induction. A rat model of intestinal IRI was established by ligating the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 1 h. Intestinal histology, pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators were examined and the effect of EGCG on PI3K/Akt signalling was assessed. EGCG significantly alleviated the pathological changes of the intestine and suppressed the IRI-induced up-regulation of TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in the serum and intestine. The mechanism might be that EGCG enhanced the activation of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. In conclusion, the administration of EGCG can significantly mitigate the acute intestinal IRI in rats by enhancing the activation of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway to suppress inflammatory response and might be a promising alternative for the prevention or treatment of intestinal IRI in the clinical practice.
