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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second most lethal cancer worldwide. Probiotics have long been utilized to treat gastrointestinal diseases. Probiotics may play a role in the prevention and treatment of CRC. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory drugs sulfasalazine (SSA) and mesalazine (MESA) have a preventive role in CRC. This study investigates the modulatory antitumor effects of combining the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) with SSA or MESA and the associated molecular mechanisms in CRC. In vitro studies of LGG-CFS, both alone and in combination with SSA or MESA, were assessed in HCT-116 and HT-29 CRC cells. In vivo, 61 albino rats aged 8 weeks were used and CRC was induced using 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. The 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced rats were divided into six groups, each of eight-in addition to the negative control group (received phosphate buffer saline only)-as follows: (I) positive control group (received DMH only), (II) SSA-treated group, (III) MESA-treated group, (IV) LGG-treated group, (V) SSA + LGG-treated group, and (VI) MESA + LGG-treated group. Rats received daily oral doses of SSA (250 mg/kg), MESA (62.5 mg/kg), LGG (1 × 10
