Allopurinol Disrupts Purine Metabolism to Increase Damage in Experimental Colitis.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is marked by a state of chronic energy deficiency that limits gut tissue wound healing. This energy shortfall is partially due to microbiota dysbiosis, resulting in the loss of microbiota-derived metabolites, which the epithelium relies on for energy procurement. The role of microbiota-sourced purines, such as hypoxanthine, as substrates salvaged by the colonic epithelium for nucleotide biogenesis and energy balance, has recently been appreciated for homeostasis and wound healing. Allopurinol, a synthetic hypoxanthine isomer commonly prescribed to treat excess uric acid in the blood, inhibits the degradation of hypoxanthine by xanthine oxidase, but also inhibits purine salvage. Although the use of allopurinol is common, studies regarding how allopurinol influences the gastrointestinal tract during colitis are largely nonexistent. In this work, a series of
