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

Although the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood, vitamin D has been proven to be associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, participating in immune response and regulating gut microbiota composition. In this study, we established a dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis model and intervened with vitamin D. Subsequently, colonic histopathology, serum biochemistry, transcription of inflammatory cytokines, gut microbiota, and key signaling pathways were examined. Our research demonstrated that intervention with vitamin D reduced the disease activity index of DSS-induced colitis and improved histopathological changes, protecting tight junction protein ZO-1 and intestinal glands from damage induced by DSS. Analysis of gut microbiota revealed alterations in both α diversity and β diversity in DSS-induced colitis, whereas interventions with active vitamin D corrected the changes in certain bacterial abundance and improved the composition of gut microbiota. The transcription levels of inflammatory cytokines, including
