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

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is one of the most common chronic functional gastrointestinal diseases with limited treatments. Gut microbiota play an important role in chronic gastrointestinal diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Spleen-Yang deficiency (SYD) is one of the root causes of IBS-D. Fuzi-Lizhong pill (FLZP) is well known for its powerful capacity for treating SYD and has a good clinical effect on IBS-D. However, the mechanism of FLZP on the gut microbiota of IBS-D has not been fully clarified. Our present study aimed to reveal the mechanism of FLZP regulating gut microbiota of IBS-D. The body mass, CCK, MTL, and Bristol fecal character score were used to verify the establishment of the IBS-D model. IL-6, TNF, IL-1β, and IFN-γ were crucial targets screened by network pharmacology and preliminarily verified by ELISA. Eighteen gut microbiota were important for the treatment of IBS-D with FLZP. Bacteroidetes,
