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 an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the innermost lining of the colon and rectum. Previous studies demonstrated that resveratrol suppresses colitis and colon cancer associated with colitis by improving glucose metabolism, but resveratrol use is limited by its low oral bioavailability. Combretastatin-A4 phosphate (CA4P) is a vascular-disrupting agent with antitumor activity. CA4P is structurally similar to resveratrol, but whether CA4P has the same effect as resveratrol on UC is not clear. In this study, we examined the pharmacological effects of CA4P administration on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced inflammation in a mouse model of UC. C57BL/6 mice were administered 2.5% DSS in the drinking water to induce acute UC. CA4P (11 mg/kg/d) was injected intraperitoneally daily. The Disease Activity Index (DAI) score and histological score were evaluated to determine the severity of UC. Colon tissues and blood samples were collected for histological analyses. The results show that CA4P plus DSS significantly decreased colon length (
