The aqueous extract of Phellinus igniarius (SH) ameliorates dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Phellinus igniarius, which is called Sanghuang in Chinese, is a fungal herb widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat stomachache, inflammation and tumors. Recent studies have demonstrated the antitumor, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and immunity-modulating activities of P. igniarius. In the present study, we investigated that ameliorating effect of the aqueous extract of P. igniarius fruiting body (SH) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice. Treatment with SH (250 and 400 mg/kg) for 8 weeks effectively alleviated the pathological indicators of colitis such as bodyweight reduction, disease activity index score, shortening of colon length and abnormal colon histology. The plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inflammatory factors such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were all significantly reduced. Supplementation of SH (10 mg/L) also inhibited LPS-elicited IL-1β production by RAW264.7 macrophages. Real-time PCR and western blot showed that treatment with SH significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor alpha (IκBα) and decreased the expression of IL-6/IL-1β-maturation genes such as apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC3) and caspase-1 in the colon of DSS-induced colitis mice. These results suggest that SH is adequate for the treatment of colitis. Inhibiting the expression and release of inflammatory factors may participate in the colitis-ameliorating effect of SH.
