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

purposeTo investigate the potential pleiotropic effects of liraglutide (LG), a glucagon-like-peptide-1 analog, on gastric ulcer prevention in rats with diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ).

methodsWe randomly divided 63 male Wistar rats into seven groups. STZ was administered intraperitoneally (IP) to the animals in the diabetic control (group STZ), diabetic control + indomethacin (INDO) (group STZI), STZ + INDO + omeprazole (group OMP), STZ + INDO + LG (0.2 mg/kg) (group 0.2LG), and STZ + INDO + LG (0.4 mg/kg) group (group 0.4LG). We administered OMP IP to group OMP, 0.2 mg/kg LG to group 0.2LG SC, 0.4 mg/kg LG to group 0.4LG SC, normal saline to non-diabetic control (sham group), group STZ, non-diabetic control + INDO (group KI), and group STZI SC. INDO was administered to the animals in groups KI, STZI, OMP, 0.2LG, and 0.4LG by gavage. Then, the caspase-3, epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were studied.

resultsLG prevented INDO-induced ulcers and decreased apoptosis in the stomach tissue. It increased the SOD-1, GSH, EGF, VEGF-A, and PGE2 levels, and reduced the MDA, IL-6, and TNF-α levels. The anti-ulcer effect of LG was lower, but close to that of OMP.

conclusionThe antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects of LG, its ability to regulate EGF, VEGF-A, and PGE2 levels, and its capacity to reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic rats may contribute to its anti-ulcer effect.
