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 evaluation of the antioxidant, anti-secretory and anti-inflammatory potentials of the ethyl acetate fraction (ELC) from the root bark of Lycium chinense against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in mice and the possible mechanisms underlying this action was performed. The results indicated that oral administration of ELC (50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) before ethanol-induced ulcer increased the gastric mucus content, restored the superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels, reduced malondialdehyde levels and inhibited the activity of myeloperoxidase. Furthermore, ELC displayed its anti-secretory activity by decreasing the gastric juice and increased the gastric pH and reduced pro-inflammatory markers and caspase-3 tissue levels. These results suggest that L. chinense displays gastroprotective properties as a result of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-secretory and anti-apoptotic effects.
