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: Kuiyangling is a traditional Chinese medicine formula used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. Imbalance in NETs regulation is one of the important factors contributing to the onset of ulcerative colitis (UC). The HuR/VDR signaling pathway plays a significant role in restoring the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC. The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism of Kuiyangling in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Methods: A mouse model of ulcerative colitis using 3% DSS water was considered, and model, normal, Kuiyangling medium- (5 g·kg Results: Kuiyangling reduced DAI, splenic index, and ROS content; maintained mucosal structure; decreased inflammation; and increased colon length and body mass index. Western blotting indicated that Kuiyangling reduced PAD4,MPO, and citH3 levels. Kuiyangling decreased NETs and increased the expression levels of ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-7, as well as up-regulating HuR, VDR, and HuR/VDR proteins. Kuiyangling reduced IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels while increasing TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-37 levels. Kuiyangling reduced inflammatory response proteins and elevated the levels of anti-inflammatory and intestinal barrier proteins, possibly inhibiting the TNF and oxidative phosphorylation signaling pathways. Conclusion: Kuiyangling enema in treating ulcerative colitis in mice, associated with a reduction in intestinal NETs and enhancement of HuR-mediated intestinal barrier signaling pathways.
