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

Background: Current ulcerative colitis (UC) therapies often cause adverse effects, and novel treatments are urgently needed. Cordycepin (COR), a bioactive compound from Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms of COR on UC. Methods: Using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis mice and DSS-damaged human colonic epithelial cells as models, we evaluated and analyzed the effects and mechanisms of COR on UC by combining molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, in vivo/in vitro interventions with selective pharmacological antagonists, transcriptome sequencing and Western blotting verification. Results: In vitro experiments confirmed that COR exhibits protective effects on DSS-damaged colonic epithelial cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that COR elevates intracellular cAMP levels, and the selective adenosine A Conclusion: COR ameliorates DSS-induced colitis by activating A
