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

Purpose: Ginseng ( Methods: Mice with DSS-induced UC were treated with GRb1 or 0.9% saline for 10 days. Colon tissue of UC mice was collected to detect the levels of intestinal inflammatory cytokines and integrity of the intestinal barrier. RNA-seq and network pharmacology were used to predict the therapeutic targets of GRb1 during UC treatment. Results: GRb1 treatment alleviated intestinal inflammation and improved intestinal barrier dysfunction in UC mice. Specifically, GRb1 downregulated the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, while upregulating the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Additionally, GRb1 treatment increased the levels of tight junction proteins including ZO-1, Occludin, and E-cadherin, which are crucial for maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. Further analyses using RNA-seq and network pharmacology suggested that these effects might involve the regulation of GRb1 in the signal transduction network of VDR, PPARγ, and NF-κB. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that GRb1 effectively alleviated UC by modulating intestinal inflammation and protecting the integrity of the intestinal barrier through the signal transduction network of VDR, PPARγ, and NF-κB.
