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

Oxidative stress, caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis (UC). We developed ROS-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) as an efficacious nanomedicine against UC with oral administration. The NPs were fabricated with a d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate-b-poly(β-thioester) copolymer (TPGS-PBTE) for ROS cleavage via the colitis-targeted delivery of luteolin (LUT), a natural flavonoid with good anti-inflammation and radical-scavenging activity. Owing to the thioether bond in the polymer main chain, the TPGS-PBTE NPs exhibited an ROS-responsive size change and drug release, which benefited the ROS-scavenging and selective accumulation of LUT in the inflamed colon. In a dextran sulfate sodium-induced acute colitis murine model, LUT@TPGS-PBTE NPs alleviated body weight loss, colon length shortening, and damage to the colonic tissues due to the suppression of ROS and proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-17A, IL-6, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α), as well as upregulation of glutathione and anti-inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-10, IL-4). More importantly, LUT@TPGS-PBTE NPs regulated the inflammatory microenvironment by modulating the T helper (Th)1/Th2 and Th17/regulatory T cell (Treg) balance (i.e., increased numbers of Tregs and Th2 cells and decreased numbers of Th1 and Th17 ​cells), thus resolving inflammation and accelerating the healing of the intestinal mucosa. Additionally, the LUT@TPGS-PBTE NPs formulation enabled the reduction of the effective dose of LUT and showed excellent biosafety in the mouse model, demonstrating its potential as a targeted UC therapeutic oral preparation.
