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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a refractory chronic disease characterized by bloody diarrhea and mucosal or submucosal ulcers. There is an urgent need of new drugs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. EHLJ7 is a quaternary coptisine derivative. Herein, we explored the therapeutic effect of EHLJ7 on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice. Results showed that EHLJ7 have good effects on DSS-induced colitis. EHLJ7 significantly improved symptoms induced by DSS including of weight loss, colon contracture, disease activity index (DAI), inflammatory infiltration, and so on. Furthermore, results showed that EHLJ7 could enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production especially butyric acid, suggesting that EHLJ7 could improve the metabolic disorder of intestinal flora to a certain extent. Further study indicated that EHLJ7 could cooperate with butyrate to exert its anti-ulcerative colitis effect by inhibiting the activation of janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) pathway. Therefore, EHLJ7 has a potential to be developed as a candidate for the treatment of colitis.
