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

Aconite shows potential to improve ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the specific impact and mechanisms of aconite polysaccharides (APs) on UC remain poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the chemical structures of APs, among which one was further evaluated for its effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC, and the underlying mechanism was explored with a focus on gut microbiota (GM). Four distinct APs were isolated, among which aconite polysaccharide A-1 (APA-1) was the predominant one. APA-1 is characterized as a glucan composed of →4)-α-glucose (Glc)-(1→, with residues such as →3, 4)-α-Glc-(1→, →2, 4)-α-Glc-(1→ and →4, 6)-α-Glc-(1→ functioning as branching points. APA-1 significantly ameliorated disease symptoms and colonic pathological alterations in UC mice. Furthermore, APA-1 restored GM diversity and richness, counteracting dysbiosis marked by a decrease in beneficial microorganisms such as
