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

Introduction: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), including gastric and duodenal ulcers, is primarily caused by Methods: The gastroprotective effects of HRCC were investigated in a mouse model of PUD, and macroscopic score was used to investigate the effects of HRCC on PUD. In addition, the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (Ccl2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, Western blots were used to evaluate the expressions of anti-oxidative enzymes, including catalase, glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Results: HRCC attenuated ulcer severity induced by ethanol and hydrogen chloride ex vivo (n = 6). In addition, long-term treatment of HRCC for seven-day reduced ethanol and hydrogen chloride-induced ulcer formation (n = 6). Moreover, we found that HRCC treatment decreased immune cell infiltration, the gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines (n = 6), and enhanced antioxidative enzyme levels (n = 3) in stomach of the animals in vivo. Conclusion: HRCC has potential as a gastroprotective agent with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, and its application may provide an alternative for treating PUD.
