Arbutin ameliorated ulcerative colitis of mice induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS).

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
Accumulating evidence has revealed the anti-inflammatory effects of arbutin against various diseases. However, the effects of arbutin are not clarified in ulcerative colitis. This study was intended to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of arbutin on DSS-induced colitis. Hematoxylin eosin staining was performed to determine the pathological damage of intestinal tissue in mice. Inflammatory factors levels in intestinal tissue were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. TUNEL staining showed the apoptosis levels of cells. Intestinal permeability was analyzed using the application of Fluorescein isothiocyanate Dextran (FD) 4. The levels of Zona Occludens 1 (ZO-1), occluding and claudin-1, and the related proteins in MAPK/ELK1 pathway were analyzed by Western blot. DSS promotes pathological injury, the levels of pro-inflammatory factors containing tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin- 6 (IL-6) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), and cell apoptosis in the mouse colon. Additionally, intestinal permeability was increased and the levels of tight function-related proteins were increased following DSS induction. Its effects could be greatly improved by arbutin. Arbutin exerted effects by eliciting anti-inflammatory effects and maintaining normal intestinal mucosal barrier function, the action mechanism of which could be associated with MAPK/ELK1 pathway.
