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
Traditionally Blumea lacera DC is used to treat inflammation and bowel ailments. Lack of specific, curative treatment for IBD enticed us to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of ethanolic extract of aerial parts of Blumea lacera DC (EEBL) against indomethacin-induced enterocolitis. Male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n = 5) and different doses of EEBL (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o) and sulphasalazine (100 mg/kg, p.o) were administered for seven days. Enterocolitis was induced by two subsequent doses of indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg, s.c) on 7th and 8th day. Treatments were continued up to 12th day and sacrificed. The protective effect was assessed on the basis of macroscopic scores of ileum strips, changes in biochemical parameters such as serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), lipid peroxidation (LPO), and total thiols (TT). Further, activity was ascertained by histopathological evaluations. HPLC fingerprinting profiling of EEBL was also carried out. Pre-treatment with EEBL or sulphasalazine significantly attenuated the indomethacin-induced proximal ileal damage, elevated levels of serum LDH, tissue MPO, LPO and lower levels of TT. Further, observed activity of EEBL was well correlated with histopathological alterations. The results revealed the protective action of the title plant against the indomethacin-induced enterocolitis in rats, which might be attributed by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and membrane-stabilizing properties.
