Potential effects of xylopic acid on acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats.
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsXylopic acid (XA) has been reported to exhibit analgesic activity, alleviate neuropathic pain in rodents, and demonstrate anti-inflammatory effects. Intrarectal challenge of rats with acetic acid induces colitis that bears resemblance in terms of its pathogenesis, histopathology, and inflammatory profile to that in humans. Reactive oxygen species are implicated as the main driving force in this inflammatory bowel disease. This study aimed to investigate the anti-colitic potential of XA. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe investigated the effect of XA on body weight, disease activity, inflammatory cell infiltration, and generation of reactive oxygen species. Rats were treated with XA or sulphasalazine, challenged intrarectally with acetic acid with macroscopic and microscopic findings made after eight days.
resultsAdministration of XA to rats with colitis resulted in an increase in body weight with significant (p<0.05) improvement of the disease profile macroscopically. We observed decreased gross mucosal injury, reduced inflammation, and cellular proliferation with XA administration. Treatment with XA also resulted in decreased colonic epithelial expression of argyrophylic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) with significant decrease (p<0.0001) in the quantitative expression of AgNORs/nucleus ratio to levels comparable with non-colitic control. We also observed reduced proliferation of mucosal mast cell in the colonic segment of the rats treated with XA. Treatment with XA also significantly (p<0.0001) increased the activity of SOD, CAT, and APx while it decreased the activity of MPO and MDA levels.
conclusionXylopic acid possesses anti-colitic activity in rats induced with acetic acid colitis.
