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
Gastric ulcers are a major health concern that can cause severe complications such as bleeding (perforation), digestive blockage, or even stomach cancer if not treated properly. In this study, we evaluated the phytoconstituents, acute toxicity, and gastroprotective potential of the unexplored Pyrus syriaca Boiss. in ethanol-mediated gastric ulcer in rats. Experimental rats were housed in different cages and fasted before receiving pretreatments (250 and 500 mg/kg) and absolute ethanol (5 mL/kg, i.g.) administration. Phytochemical investigations unveiled increased phenolic (142.55 GAE/100 g), flavonoid (73.65 QE/100 g), and anthocyanins (44.05 CGE/100 g) in methanolic extracts of Pyrus syriaca (MEPS). The toxicity evaluation of MEPS (2 and 5 g/kg) did not show any behavioral or physiological changes in rats, even after 14 days of trial. The in vivo gastroprotective evaluation of MEPS (250 and 500 mg/kg) showed a dose-related protection against ethanol-mediated ulceration comparable to lansoprazole. MEPS pretreatment (250 and 500 mg/kg) improved gastric defense barriers (mucus content and pH maintenance) as well as ameliorated gastric tissue alterations, lowering ulcer index areas by 22.13% and 50.40%, respectively. Interestingly, MEPS exhibited significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials, denoted by up-regulated superoxide dismutase, catalase, interleukin (IL-10), while lowering MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6 cytokines. The anti-apoptotic effects of MEPS were confirmed by down-regulated Bax (by 35.29%, and 47.05%, respectively) and increased Bcl-2 expressions (by 51.42% and 60%, respectively). Collectively, P. syrica showed enriched phytoconstituents that supported its gastroprotective potentials through modulation of antioxidant, inflammatory, and apoptotic cascades.
