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

Lanatoside C (LanaC), a cardiac glycoside, has been reported to possess therapeutic potential in acute intestinal inflammation; however, its in vivo effects on ulcerative colitis (UC) remain incompletely understood. In this study, we demonstrated that LanaC effectively attenuates DSS-induced colitis in mice by reducing inflammation, mitigating epithelial damage, and preserving barrier integrity. Mechanistically, LanaC treatment was associated with reduced macrophage infiltration in the colon and spleen, suppression of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage markers, and enhancement of M2-associated markers. In vitro, LanaC inhibited LPS-induced M1 polarization and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in BMDMs, while promoting IL-4-driven M2 polarization and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression. These effects were accompanied by attenuation of STAT1/STAT3 signaling and enhancement of STAT6 activation, suggesting a selective reprogramming of macrophage responses. Collectively, these findings reveal that LanaC alleviates DSS-induced colitis, at least in part, through regulating macrophage infiltration and repolarization supporting its potential as a macrophage-targeted therapeutic candidate in UC.
