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

objectiveThis study aims to observe the effect of Qihuang decoction on small intestinal mucosal barrier after gastrectomy in rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 80 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, enteral nutrition group (EN) and Qihuang decoction group (EN+QH), there were 20 rats in each group. Both the EN group and the EN+QH group underwent gastrectomy. Instillation of enteral nutrition in the small intestine was performed after operation in the EN group. Instillation of enteral nutrition and Qihuang decoction in the small intestine was performed after operation in the EN+QH group. Only the abdominal incision and closing was performed in the sham operation group without drug and nutritional intervention. The expression levels of tight junction proteins in intestinal epithelial cells were determined by western blotting method. The sIgA content in different anatomic sites of intestinal mucosa was determined by double antibody-PEG radioimmunoassay technique. The number of IgA+B cells in different anatomic sites of intestinal mucosa was determined by immunohistochemical method.

resultsThe sIgA content in the sham operated group was significantly lower than that of normal group (

conclusionsQihuang decoction can promote the proliferation and differentiation of IgA+B lymphocytes and increase the sIgA content in intestinal mucosal immune barrier after gastrectomy in rats, it also can promote the expression of tight junction proteins to improve the permeability of intestinal mucosa and promote the recovery of intestinal immune barrier dysfunction in rats after gastrectomy by inhibiting the tight junction associated proteins' phosphorylation induced by Rho/ROCK signaling pathway.
