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

objectiveTo explore the effect of Chang'an decoction (, CAD) of ameliorating the immune imbalances in ulcerative colitis (UC) by regulating Rab27 in the P53/high mobility group box 1 pathway.

methodsThe functions and important signaling pathways of the Rab27- and UC-related genes were analyzed

resultsBioinformatics analysis revealed that compared with normal tissues, the expression of Rab27 was significantly increased in UC tissues. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that Rab27 has the potential to be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of disease activity. Enrichment analysis showed that UC and Rab27 were mainly associated with small molecule transport, nutrient metabolism, transmembrane transport and the downstream pathway of P53. According to animal experiments, the expression of Rab27 was increased in UC tissues, which aggravated the colonic pathological damage, activated the expression of HMGB1, and also leaded to the imbalance of Th17 and Treg cells. After CAD intervention, Rab27 overexpression, weight loss, colon shortening, and pathological damage were substantial reduced, the expression of tight junction proteins, zona occludens 1 and Occludin were increased. The effect of CAD at high-dose was more obvious. In addition, CAD upgraded the number of Treg cells and the production of TGF-β and IL-10, while decreasing the number of Th17 cells and the expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-17, IL-21, and IL-22). Moreover, colon inflammation was alleviated by CAD, as indicated by the regulation of HMGB1 and P-P53 expression.

conclusionThe expression of Rab27, HMGB1 and P-P53 could be decreased by CAD, and the balance of Th17 and Treg cells as well as their related cytokines could be regulated by CAD.
