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

Colitis is one of the inflammatory states that affect the intestinal wall and may even predispose to malignancy due to chronic irritation. Although the etiology of colitis is not yet fully explored, a combination of genetic and environmental factors is strongly incriminated. Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that is used for the management of a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. Ambrosin is a sesquiterpene lactone that was proven to have beneficial effects in disorders characterized by inflammatory nature. The objective of this study is to make a comparison between the effects of perindopril or ambrosin on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and to explore the effect of their combination. The present findings indicate that each ambrosin or perindopril alone or in combination is able to ameliorate oxidative stress and suppress the proinflammatory pathways in the colonic tissues of DSS-treated mice via mechanisms related to toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa B signaling and modulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma/sirtuin-1 levels. In addition, each ambrosin or perindopril alone or in combination inhibits apoptosis and augments the mediators of autophagy in DSS-treated mice. These effects are reflected in the amelioration of the histopathological and electron microscopic changes in the colonic tissues. Interestingly, the most remarkable effects are those encountered with the perindopril/ambrosin combination compared to the groups treated with each of these agents alone. In conclusion, the perindopril/ambrosin combination might represent an effective modality for mitigation of the pathogenic events and the clinical sequelae of colitis.
