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

Ecological dysregulation leads to the progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The present study was designed to evaluate whether ginsenoside Rb3 (GR3) ameliorates dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis by modifying the microbiota. The results revealed that GR3 treatment with oral doses of 5 mg/kg suppressed DSS-induced colitis in mice, and its effects were evaluated using a combination of histological analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and Western blotting. This was evidenced by a significant attenuation of symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, hematochezia, and colonic shortening in the DSS-induced colitis mice. Furthermore, GR3 treatment remarkably elevated the expression of tight junction proteins (occludin and zonula occludens-1) while reducing both inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokine concentrations (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-15, IL-17A, and IL-6). Intriguingly, GR3 treatment also mitigated DSS-induced intestinal dysbiosis by prominently increasing the proliferation of
