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 a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the colon, and its incidence is on the rise worldwide. Resveratrol (RSV), a polyphenolic compound, was recently indicated to exert anti-inflammatory effects on UC. Consequently, the current study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of RSV on alleviating UC in mice by mediating intestinal microflora homeostasis. First, potential targets that RSV may regulate UC were screened using the TCMSP database. Next, mice were treated differently, specifically subjected to sham-operation and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induction, and then treated or untreated with RSV. Disease Activity Index (DAI) and Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining were employed to analyze the pathological changes of mice colon. In addition, the expression patterns of inflammatory factors in spleen tissues were detected using ELISA, while the protein expression patterns of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) in colon tissues were determined by means of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot analysis. Moreover, changes in intestinal flora and metabolite diversity in UC were analyzed by metabonomics. It was found that RSV played inhibitory roles in the PI3K/Akt pathway in mice. Meanwhile, the administration of RSV induced downregulated the expressions of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-4. The six floras of
