The effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on sepsis-induced cholestasis management in an animal model.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
objectivesCholestasis refers to a reduction in bile flow from the liver into the biliary system. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is commonly used for the treatment of hepatic cholestasis. This study aimed to explore the role of UDCA in the treatment and prevention of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cholestasis.
methodsSixty male albino rats were randomly classified into five groups of 12 rats each: the control group (received saline and water), UDCA group (received UDCA), LPS group (received LPS), treatment group (received LPS followed by UDCA), and prevention group (received UDCA followed by LPS). Changes in gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), plasma aspartate transferase (AST), plasma alkaline transferase (ALT), plasma alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBIL), hepatocyte apoptosis, immunomodulatory activity, plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1α, and IL-4), and liver histology were assessed.
resultsUDCA improved serum liver chemical markers (GGT, ALP, and AST) in both the prevention and treatment groups (p < 0.05 and
conclusionsThis study provides evidence of the effectiveness of UDCA for the treatment and prevention of sepsis-induced cholestasis.
