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

Aims: We previously reported that telomerase activator Methods and Results: Ten patients with mild UC were recruited. Patients received 500 mg of oral CA extract tablets once daily for 12 weeks. Safety and efficacy were monitored based on clinical manifestations, biomarkers, endoscopic findings, histopathological findings, and telomere length. Among 10 patients, one patient withdrew due to the relapse of UC. No adverse events were identified during the medication in the remaining nine patients. One patient showed a Partial Mayo Score (pMayo) decrease from 1 to 0, while the remaining eight pMayo scores remained at 0 before and after treatment. CRP, ESR, and leucine-rich alpha 2 glycoprotein (LRG) levels remained unchanged throughout treatment. Two patients showed endoscopic improvement. The other two patients showed histological improvement. Among five patients, relative telomere length of the rectum remained unchanged by treatment. Conclusion: CA is safe for patients with UC. Longer treatment durations and larger participant pools are required to assess CA efficacy on histological healing in the future.
