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

backgroundAlthough therapeutic options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have advanced, many patients still experience suboptimal clinical response, systemic side effects, or difficulty maintaining long-term treatment adherence. Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), an endogenous gasotransmitter with potent anti-inflammatory and mucosal-protective properties, has shown promise as a therapeutic agent for IBD. However, clinical application has been constrained by its instability in low pH and the need for parenteral administration.

resultsHere, we report the first orally administered, pH-responsive liposomal formulation of the H₂S donor GYY4137, specifically designed for colon-targeted delivery. This system, termed oral hydrogen sulfide donor-loaded liposome (Oral H₂S lipo), employs a pH-sensitive Eudragit S100 coating that forms protective aggregates under acidic gastric conditions (pH 2) to shield the liposomes and suppress premature H₂S release. In this environment, Oral H₂S lipo limited cumulative release of H

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that Oral H₂S lipo enables effective, site-specific delivery of H₂S to inflamed colonic tissue, offering a clinically relevant platform to overcome limitations of conventional H₂S donor therapies in IBD management.
