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
objectiveTo explore the molecular mechanism of γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-GC) in response to inflammation in vivo and in vitro on regulating the polarization of macrophages.
methodsThe expressions of gene or protein were assessed by qPCR and Western blot assays, respectively. Cell viability was investigated by CCK-8 assay. Eight-week-old male BALB/c mice were established to examine the therapeutic effects of γ-GC in vivo. The release of TNF-α and IL-4 was determined by ELISA assay. Macrophages polarization was identified by flow cytometry assay.
resultsOur data showed that γ-GC treatment significantly improved the survival, weight loss, and colon tissue damage of IBD mice. Furthermore, we established M1- and M2-polarized macrophages, respectively, and our findings provided evidence that γ-GC switched M1/M2-polarized macrophages through activating AMPK/SIRT1 axis and inhibiting inflammation-related signaling pathway.
conclusionCollectively, both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggested that γ-GC has the potential to become a promising novel therapeutic dipeptide for the treatment of IBD, which provide new ideas for the treatment of inflammatory diseases in the future.
