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

Aim: Based on studies, Background: Currently, vitamin D3 is highly recommended in the therapeutic management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Similar to 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) which is a mainstay in treatment of IBD and prevention of CRC related inflammation, the importance of vitamin D3 is also mainly attributed to a series of known protective effects of this compound, particularly regulation of immune response and gut microbiota. Methods: The antimicrobial effects of vitamin D3 and 5-ASA against Results: Neither vitamin D3 nor 5-ASAinhibited bacterial growth at the investigated concentrations. The expression of Conclusion: Vitamin D3's effect on downregulating colibactin, one of the proposed factors in colon carcinogenesis, highlights another unknown aspect of this multifaceted drug. The inability of both studied compounds to inhibit the growth of
