Lobetyolin ameliorates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice by alleviating inflammation, restoring barrier function, and modulating gut microbiota-metabolite interactions.

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
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by persistent mucosal inflammation in the colon, leading to substantial morbidity. Current therapies are often limited by side effects and relapse, emphasizing the need for safer, multi-target alternatives. This study investigated the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of lobetyolin (LBT), a natural polyacetylene glycoside, in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control, DSS, and DSS treated with low (10 mg/kg) or high (50 mg/kg) doses of LBT. Clinical parameters were assessed using the disease activity index (DAI), histopathological staining, and biochemical assays. Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were quantified by ELISA, tight junction proteins were analyzed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, gut microbiota composition was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were measured by GC-MS. In addition, non-targeted metabolomics was performed using UHPLC-MS/MS. LBT treatment significantly alleviated DSS-induced colitis by improving body weight, colon length, and histological structure. It reduced TNF-
