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

objectiveETS2 is a core modulator of macrophages. This study aims to investigate the effects of ETS2 on macrophage polarization in ulcerative colitis (UC) and the involvement of TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

methodsA dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute UC mice model was established, along with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/IFN-γ-stimulated RAW264.7 cell model to mimic inflammation. Immunofluorescence was employed to examine the co-localization of ETS2 with M1 macrophage markers (F4/80 and iNOS). Flow cytometry quantified the iNOS

resultsIn DSS-induced UC mice, ETS2 was significantly upregulated in colon tissues and co-localized with F4/80. LPS/IFN-γ-treated RAW264.7 cells also exhibited elevated ETS2 expression, accompanied by increased inflammatory cytokine secretion, expansion of iNOS

conclusionETS2 enhanced the inflammatory response in UC by activating TLR4/NF-κB-mediated M1 macrophage polarization.
