Review in British journal of pharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Eicosanoids play important roles in modulating inflammation throughout the body. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract, in part because of its intimate relationship with the gut microbiota, is in a constant state of low-grade inflammation. Eicosanoids like PGs, lipoxins and leukotrienes play essential roles in maintenance of mucosal integrity. On the other hand, in some circumstances, these mediators can become major drivers of inflammatory processes when the lining of the GI tract is breached. Drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, by altering the production of various eicosanoids, can dramatically impact the ability of the GI tract to respond appropriately to injury. Disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease appear to be driven in part by altered production of eicosanoids. Several classes of drugs have been developed that target eicosanoids.
