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 &

aimsThe ligand-activated transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) can sense xenobiotics, dietary, microbial, and metabolic cues. Roles of Ahr in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) have been much less elucidated compared with those in intestinal innate immune cells. Here, we explored whether the IEC intrinsic Ahr could modulate the development of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) via the gut-liver axis.

methodsMice with IEC specific Ahr deficiency (Ahr

resultsAhr

conclusionsOur results indicate that targeted restoration of IEC intrinsic Ahr function may present as a novel approach for ALD treatment.
