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

introductionUlcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by loss of immune tolerance to luminal antigens and progressive intestinal tissue injury. Thus, the re-establishment of immune tolerance is crucial for suppressing aberrant immune responses and UC progression.

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the action of CDD-2103 and its bioactive compounds in mediating immune regulation in mouse models of colitis.

methodsTwo experimental colitis models, chronic 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)- and T-cell transfer-induced Rag1

resultsCDD-2103 dose-dependently suppresses the progression of colitis induced by chemicals or T cell transplantation in Rag1

conclusionOverall, our study demonstrated that the clinically beneficial effect of CDD-2103 in the treatment of UC is based on the induction of immune tolerance. In addition, this study supports berberine and palmatine as potential chemical entities in CDD-2103 that modulate immune tolerance.
