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

The prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) increases with unhealthy eating habits. Both surgery and medication have the potential to treat the condition, but they may also have more negative effects. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory mechanism of 20% and 40% doses of different highland barley (HB) components (whole grain, peeled, and bran) in a 2% dextran sulfate sodium induced UC mouse model. The results showed that supplementation with a 20% dose of peeled HB restored body weight, disease activity index, colon length, serum interleukin-1β and interleukin-10 levels, liver glutathione peroxidase content, and superoxide dismutase activity to normal levels in mice compared to UC mice. Moreover, the damage caused by UC to the mice's colon was significantly reduced, and the relative expression levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α were all significantly downregulated. Additionally, it increased the abundance of
