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

backgroundFucoidan from

methodsIn this study, Aj-FUC was extracted, and its basic structure was characterized, while the alleviating efficacy of Aj-FUC on ulcerative colitis (UC) was investigated using C57BL/6 mice. The improvement of Aj-FUC on the fecal gut microbiota in healthy individuals and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients was explored using in vitro simulated fecal fermentation.

resultsThe results reflected that Aj-FUC treatment attenuated the histopathological damage associated with colitis, reduced the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Aj-FUC treatment also upregulated the expression of ZO-1 and occludin, thereby aiding in the repair of the intestinal barrier. Furthermore, Aj-FUC enhanced the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and helped restore the balance of gut microbiota, particularly by increasing the relative abundance of

conclusionsIn conclusion, this study highlights that Aj-FUC can alleviate UC by modulating the levels of inflammatory factors, improving the intestinal barrier, and regulating the intestinal flora in a variety of ways.
