The reported experiments used rats with several forms of acute or chronic gastric ulcer injury, with prevention and healing comparisons.
What the researchers measured
Ulcer extent, epithelial restoration, and granulation tissue in injured stomach tissue were assessed.
How to read this evidence
Researchers studied cells, isolated tissue, or animals. These experiments can help explain a mechanism, but do not establish benefits or safety in people. Human cells grown in a laboratory also belong in this category.
Results in context
The study's results are from rat experiments. References to clinical development in its introduction do not turn these experiments into a human ulcer trial.
What this does not establish
Despite references to human ulcers in the abstract, the reported experiments were in rats. Their results do not establish human ulcer healing.
