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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The etiology of UC is multifaceted, and the underlying pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Pyroptosis, programmed cell death mediated by the gasdermins, is a pivotal driver of UC pathology due to its dual role in epithelial barrier disruption and inflammatory amplification. We previously showed that phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, alleviated acute liver injury in mice by suppressing hepatocyte pyroptosis. In this study we evaluated the therapeutic potential of PEITC in the treatment of UC and the underlying mechanisms. UC mouse models were established by administration of 2.5% (w/v) dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) daily for 7 days. PEITC (5, 10, or 20 mg·kg
