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

BACKGROUND Barbaloin is one of the main medicinal ingredients of aloe vera, which displays various anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis properties in several inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. Our study evaluated its efficacy against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ulcerative colitis (UC) rat models were established in vivo, and after barbaloin treatment, body weight and inflammation index were measured. Additionally, the signaling mechanism by which barbaloin protects against UC was investigated using LPS-infected Caco-2 cells. RESULTS Barbaloin could significantly reverse UC-induced weight loss and colon injury. Further, it could effectively increase the mRNA expression of IL-4 and IL-10 in colon tissues, while decreasing the expression of IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-1ß, and TNF-alpha. Furthermore, it significantly enhanced UC-inhibited atresia band 1 (ZO-1), occludin, and E-cadherin, and was also found to activate the AMPK signaling pathway. Additionally, si-RAN-induced knockdown, and overexpression assay showed that barbaloin could inhibit the UC-enhanced MLCK signaling pathway by activating the AMPK signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Barbaloin can effectively inhibit inflammation and reverse epithelial barrier function to protect against UC, possibly via activation of the AMPK signaling pathway.
