Serum complement C3 and α
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimsUlcerative colitis (UC), characterized by chronic inflammation and its recurrence in the large intestine, is well known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Suitable biomarkers specific for UC are poorly understood till date. We aimed to discover novel serum biomarkers for UC and identify good indicators that reflected the severity of UC. MAIN
methodsSerum samples were obtained from out-patients with IBD (n = 101) and healthy volunteers (HVs, n = 101). Serum proteins were subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. After electrophoresis, proteins in the gel were identified by mass spectrometry. Further, the protein concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Based on the results, correlations between the serum levels of these proteins and the disease activity index scores for UC were statistically evaluated. PRINCIPAL
findingsHPLC showed that chromatograms of serum proteins from HVs apparently differed from those of patients with IBD. Eleven protein bands, which were different in their protein concentrations from those in HVs, were separated by SDS-PAGE accordingly. Among them, complement C3 (c-C3) and α
