Comparative treatment of Sulfasalazine+Ezetimibe combination and Sulfasalazine in a rat model with induced colitis.
Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with high mortality and morbidity worldwide. It causes inflammation in the lining of the colon, resulting in several symptoms that negatively impact the quality of life. Unfortunately, there is currently no known cure for this condition. Therefore, it is crucial to explore alternative treatment approaches. This research aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of a combination therapy involving Sulfasalazine+Ezetimibe compared to Sulfasalazine alone in a rat model of ulcerative colitis. Forty adult rats were divided into four groups for this study. The groups consisted of a control group (negative control), an acetic acid group (positive control), an acetic acid+Sulfasalazine (100 mg/kg per day) group, and an acetic acid+Sulfasalazine (50 mg/kg)+Ezetimibe (5 mg/kg) group. Rats were treated for one week, and colitis was induced by administering 2 ml of 4% (v/v) acetic acid inter-rectally. After sacrifice, the colonic tissue homogenate was analyzed for several markers, including proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-κB), oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase), and adhesive molecule markers (E-selectin, ICAM-1). Sulfasalazine and the combination of Sulfasalazine+Ezetimibe significantly reduced the colonic levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-κB, MDA, and E-selectin in the homogenate. However, the combination therapy of Sulfasalazine and Ezetimibe demonstrated a superior effect.
