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

Hyperactivated M1 macrophages with excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) exacerbate intestinal inflammation, driving the progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), for instance, ulcerative colitis. Current standard treatments for IBDs show limited efficacy and off-target side effects. Herein, we develop an oral, drug-free hyaluronic acid (HA)-based therapeutics that could self-assemble in aqueous solution, accumulate in inflamed colons and attenuate M1-like activation, thereby rebalancing the colonic immune landscape. Such drug-free therapeutics are generated by the conjugation of unsaturated fatty acids to HA via dynamic covalent boronate-catechol ester bonds. Mechanistically, the nano-assemblies (termed uhNAs) effectively scavenge ROS, dampen NF-κB signaling, and diminish pro-inflammatory cytokines in M1-like phenotypes. In DSS-induced acute colitis, oral uhNAs treatment elicits significant decreases in M1-like macrophages, CD8
