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

Aloe vera and its polysaccharides can reduce inflammation and support intestinal barrier repair, offering potential benefits for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Using a zebrafish model of TNBS-induced intestinal inflammation, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe vera gel (Aloe-S0) and its polysaccharide-rich fraction (APS-CPIC). Transcriptomic analysis was performed to explore mechanisms of action. Aloe-S0 and APS-CPIC reduced inflammation and mucosal damage, enhanced goblet cell numbers, restored the mucus barrier, and improved intestinal motility. Mechanistically, treatment downregulated pro-inflammatory genes (prkcq, sfmbt1, tyk2) and upregulated jag2b. Protein expression changes (reduced PRKCQ, SFMBT1, TYK2; increased JAG2) supported these findings. Aloe-S0 and APS-CPIC exert protective effects against intestinal inflammation in zebrafish, highlighting their therapeutic potential for IBD.
