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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic immunological disorders of the intestinal tract characterized by persistent inflammation. Baicalin, a type of flavonoid, has exhibited a wide range of pharmacological activities, including immunomodulation and anti-inflammation. However, little is known about the therapeutic role of baicalin in IBD. The aim of the present study was to ascertain whether baicalin could be a therapeutic drug of IBD and investigate its specific mechanisms. In the present study, the results revealed that baicalin not only significantly alleviated TNBS-induced colitis by reducing the release of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β and increasing the level of IL-10, but promoted the expression of tight-junction proteins ZO-1 and β-catenin, which may have been achieved by blockage of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
