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

Previous studies suggest that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a pathogenic factor for colitis. The goal of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism whereby angiotensin II (ANG II) promotes colonic inflammation. We found that renin was highly induced in colonic biopsies from patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, and colonic renin and ANG II levels were markedly increased in a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model, indicating that the colonic RAS is activated in colitis. Renin transgenic (RenTg) mice exhibited increased phosphorylation in Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription1/3 (STAT1/3) within colonic mucosa at baseline and following TNBS induction, suggesting that ANG II promotes colonic inflammation via the JAK2/STAT1/3 pathway. Treatment with pan-JAK inhibitor tofacitinib blocked JAK2 and STAT1/3 phosphorylation, attenuated T helper (T
