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

Rapid drug clearance and off-target effects of therapeutic drugs can induce low bioavailability and systemic side effects and gravely restrict the therapeutic effects of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Here, we propose an amplifying targeting strategy based on orally administered gallium (Ga)-based liquid metal (LM) nano-agents to efficiently eliminate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and modulate the dysregulated microbiome for remission of IBDs. Taking advantage of the favorable adhesive activity and coordination ability of polyphenol structure, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is applied to encapsulate LM to construct the formulations (LM-EGCG). After adhering to the inflamed tissue, EGCG not only eliminates RONS but also captures the dissociated Ga to form EGCG-Ga complexes for enhancive accumulation. The detained composites protect the intestinal barrier and modulate gut microbiota for restoring the disordered enteral microenvironment, thereby relieving IBDs. Unexpectedly, LM-EGCG markedly decreases the
