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

Arecoline is an alkaloid extracted from betel nut, which has various pharmacological effects. In the present study, we showed that arecoline aggravated experimental acute ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice. We measured body weight and colon length, evaluated disease activity index, colon pathology sections, and levels of colonic inflammatory factors. Arecoline exacerbated the clinical signs of UC and the colonic inflammatory response in mice. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples showed a significant decrease in the percentage of probiotic bacteria
