Luteolin Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis in Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Plasma Metabolism.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesUlcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and easily recurrent inflammatory bowel disease. The gut microbiota and plasma metabolites play pivotal roles in the development and progression of UC. Therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting the intestinal flora or plasma metabolites offer promising avenues for the treatment of UC. Luteolin (Lut), originating from a variety of vegetables and fruits, has attracted attention for its potent anti-inflammatory properties and potential to modulate intestinal flora.
methodsThe therapeutic efficacy of Lut was evaluated in an established dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice model. The clinical symptoms were analyzed, and biological samples were collected for microscopic examination and the evaluation of the epithelial barrier function, microbiome, and metabolomics.
resultsThe findings revealed that Lut administration at a dose of 25 mg/kg significantly ameliorated systemic UC symptoms in mice, effectively reduced the systemic inflammatory response, and significantly repaired colonic barrier function. Furthermore, Lut supplementation mitigated gut microbiota dysbiosis in a UC murine model, increasing the abundance of
conclusionsThis study reveals that Lut supplementation modulates intestinal inflammation by restoring the gut microbiota community structure, thereby altering the synthesis of inflammation-related metabolites. Lut is a potential nutritional supplement with anti-inflammatory properties and offers a novel alternative for UC intervention and mitigation. In addition, further studies are needed to ascertain whether specific microbial communities or metabolites can mediate the recovery from UC.
