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
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is the most common type of inflammatory bowel disease, characterized by oxidative stress and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines. Miconazole is an azole antifungal that stimulates the expression of antioxidant enzymes via Nrf2 activation, which consequently inhibits ROS formation and NF-κB activation. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of miconazole, sulfasalazine (as a reference drug) and their combination on acetic acid (AA)-induced UC in a rat model which was induced by intra-rectal administration of 4% AA. Rats were pretreated with miconazole (20 and 40 mg/kg, orally) or sulfasalazine (100 mg/kg, orally), or their combination (20 mg/kg miconazole and 50 mg/Kg of sulfasalazine, orally). Pretreatment with miconazole significantly reduced wet colon weight and macroscopic scores, accompanied by a significant amelioration of the colonic architecture disorder. Moreover, the treatment also significantly decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and prevented the depletion of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and GSH content in inflamed colons. Additionally, the treatment showed suppressive activities on pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and upregulated the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). Moreover, the treatment upregulated the protein levels of Nrf-2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the colon tissue. Taken together, miconazole is effective in alleviating AA-induced colitis in rats, and the mechanism of its action is associated with the activation of Nrf2-regulated cytoprotective protein expression.
