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 AND

aimsThe pathogenesis of liver fibrosis involves liver damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, and intestinal dysfunction. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) has been demonstrated to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities, and a role in maintaining gut homeostasis. The current study aimed to investigate the role of IPA in carbon tetrachloride (CCl

methodsThe liver fibrosis model was established in male C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of CCl

resultsAfter IPA treatment, the ALT and AST, apoptotic cells, and pro-inflammatory factor levels were enhanced significantly. Moreover, IPA intervention up-regulated the expression of collagen I, α-smooth muscle actin, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1, matrix metalloproteinase-2, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Smad3, and phosphorylated-Smad2/3. Additionally, IPA intervention did not affect the MDA level. Attractively, the administration of IPA remodeled the gut flora structure.
