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

Daily low-dose aspirin reduces cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer risk, but it is limited by gastrointestinal toxicity. To enhance safety and efficacy, we developed [6]-gingerol aspirinate (GAS) by conjugating aspirin with ginger-derived bioactive [6]-gingerol. This study evaluated GAS in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. GAS significantly improved clinical symptoms and reduced pro-inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β, and COX-2), whereas aspirin alone showed minimal protection. Untargeted LC/MS-based metabolomics revealed that GAS reversed 73 DSS-altered metabolites, including those related to lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrate metabolisms, many previously linked to inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Correlation analysis showed strong associations between these metabolites and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting their involvement in GAS-mediated anti-inflammatory effects. Overall, GAS provides superior protection against colitis through coordinated suppression of inflammation and modulation of disease-associated metabolic pathways, highlighting its potential as a safer chemopreventive agent and identification of candidate metabolic biomarkers.
