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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves immune dysregulation, barrier dysfunction, and dysbiosis, driving chronic inflammation and pain. Current treatments show limited efficacy and high toxicity. This study develops an engineered nanozyme, CO&MnOx@Hs (CMHs), synthesized via in-situ manganese oxide (MnOx) generation on halloysite nanotubes (Hs) with controlled encapsulation of the carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecule CORM-401 for gas therapy. CMHs selectively accumulate at inflamed UC sites, where MnOx scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) while CO exerts anti-inflammatory effects. These combined actions restore immune homeostasis, repair intestinal barrier, modulate gut microbiota, and alleviate inflammation-associated pain. In murine ulcerative colitis, CMHs outperform conventional treatments, demonstrating superior therapeutic efficacy. Mechanistic studies reveal that CMHs activate Nrf2/HO-1 for antioxidant effects while modulating PI3K-Akt and HIF-1α/LDHA pathways to promote M2 macrophage polarization and suppress NF-κB/TNF signaling. CMHs also fortify the intestinal barrier by mitigating bacterial invasion and ROS-induced damage while activating focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction. 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing further confirms CMHs' ability to remodel gut microbiota, reinforcing their immunomodulatory potential. Importantly, CMHs relieve chronic pain by reducing inflammation, inhibiting SP secretion and TACR1 expression, and suppressing TRPV1 channel activation and Ca
