A Proposed Standardized Scoring Equation for Murine Models of Colitis.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2026. 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
introductionWithin the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research community, histological scoring of colitis is an important grading system to determine colitis severity in pre-clinical mouse models of IBD. However, there is currently no set standard for grading the severity of colitis in mouse models. There are currently 30 types of scoring systems within the IBD research community. PURPOSE: In this paper, we propose a simple, 4-characteristic scoring equation based on one of the most popular scoring systems in the community to streamline and advance the research on pre-clinical models of colitis.
methodsUsing multiple linear regression, we found that 4 of 8 canonical characteristics of colitis are particularly significant to produce a simplified model equation with a fit of R
resultsUpon testing, this model appears to fare well within both non-ulcerative and ulcerative mouse models of colitis as a severity scoring system of colitis.
conclusionThe Boone-Mayer Scoring System appears to be a sound proposal for standardizing scoring severity of murine models of IBD across pre-clinical IBD laboratories. Link to website can be found here: https://sites.nd.edu/lauren-mayer/ .
