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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of deoxyschizandrin (DSD) on treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).

methodsThe models of mice with UC were established through dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) administration, and the successful models were treated with DSD. The therapeutic effects of DSD on UC mice were evaluated and its behind mechanisms were analyzed.

resultsAfter DSS induction, the mice showed increased body weight and colon length, worse disease activity index (DAI) and body inflammation, oxidative stress injury and increased apoptosis of colonic epithelial cells, which were remarkably relieved after DSD intervention. Besides, the levels of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB in the colon tissues were elevated in UC mouse models, while DSD treatment reduced the levels of these markers.

conclusionDSD can alleviate the symptoms of mice with DSS-induced UC via inhibiting body inflammation, improving oxidative stress and reducing the apoptosis of colonic epithelial cells, which may be attributed to DSD inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
