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

backgroundDehydrocostus lactone (DL), one of the main active constituents in

methodsThe experimental model of UC was induced by using oral administration of 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) with drinking water in BALB/c mice. Mesalazine (Mes, 0.52 g/kg/d), DL-high doses (DL-H, 20 mg/kg/d), DL-middle doses (DL-M, 15 mg/kg/d), DL-low doses (DL-L, 10 mg/kg/d) were gavaged once a day from day 4 to day 17. Disease activity index (DAI) was calculated daily. On day 18, mice were rapidly dissected and the colorectal tissues were used to detect the levels of UC-related inflammatory cytokines (TNF-

resultsDL reduced the colorectal inflammation histological assessment, decreased UC-related inflammatory cytokines (TNF-

conclusionsDL possessed the potential of anti-inflammatory effect to treated colitis. The protective mechanism of DL may involve in reducing inflammation and improving colorectal barrier function via downregulating the IL-6/STAT3 signaling.
