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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, nonspecific inflammation of the intestines that primarily comprises Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The incidence and prevalence of IBD have been increasing globally, highlighting the significance of research and prophylactic interventions. Virofree, a mixture of various botanical extracts (including grapes, cherries, olive leaves, marigolds, green tea, and others), has shown significant potential in disease prevention. This study examined the effects of Virofree on intestinal inflammation and the gut microbiota in mice using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced model. The mice showed no adverse reactions when administered Virofree. Virofree administration reduced the disease activity index as indicated by amelioration of DSS-induced symptoms in the mice, including weight loss, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Regarding the gut microbiota, Virofree intervention modulated the DSS-induced decrease in gut microbial diversity; the Virofree group showed no increase in the phyla
