Microanatomical effects of ß, ɛ-carotene-3,3'-diol on indomethacin induced gastric ulcer in male wistar rats.
Article in Journal of molecular histology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A gastric ulcer is a disease that occurs as a result of erosion of the epithelial lining of the gastric mucosa. In the management of this disease, most of the drugs in use have some shortcomings. In order to overcome these shortcomings, β, Ɛ-carotene-3,3'-diol, which is a non-provitamin type of carotenoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, seems to be a better remedy in the management of this deadly disease. Forty-two adult male Wistar rats (7 weeks old, 160-165 g) were used for this study. The rats were divided into six groups of seven rats each. (Group A - control, Group B - negative control, Group C was treated with 20 mg/kg b.w. of omeprazole (OMZ), while D, E and F were treated with 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg b.w. of ß, Ɛ-carotene-3,3'-diol, respectively, 12 hourly for 14 days following indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers. All rats were fasted for 24 h before gastric ulcer induction. After the last day of administration, rats were fasted for 24 h for gastric emptying and later sacrificed using chloroform as anesthesia. The stomach of the rats was harvested and opened along the lesser curvature and subsequently processed for histological and histochemical assays. The non-treated rats showed a significant decrease in collagen and mucus-secreting cells when compared to the control and treated groups at p < 0.05. ß-Ɛ-Carotene-3,3'-diol at the highest dose (80 mg/kg) seems to have a better remediation when compared with the OMZ-treated group.
