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

Gelatin is an anti-inflammatory dietary component, and its predominant metabolites entering circulation are prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) and glycine. We evaluated the protective effects of orally administered gelatin, glycine, and Pro-Hyp 10:3:0.8 (w/w/w) against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. According to clinical, histological, and biochemical parameters, they exhibited significant activities in the order of gelatin < glycine < Pro-Hyp. Gelatin prevented the DSS-induced increase in interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the colon, rather than in peripheral blood. Glycine and Pro-Hyp attenuated the DSS-induced rise in colonic IL-6 and TNF-α, as well as peripheral IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Hematologic results show the attenuation of DSS-induced leukocytosis and lymphocytosis by glycine and Pro-Hyp, rather than gelatin. These findings suggest that glycine and Pro-Hyp constitute the material basis for gelatin's anticolitis efficacy, and they have better anticolitis activities and distinct mechanisms of action when ingested as free compounds than as part of gelatin.
