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

Intestinal microbiota-mediated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation plays an important role in host-microbiota interactions and disease development. However, whether AhR activation mediates infection-induced inflammation in remote organs is not clear. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects and underlying mechanism of AhR activation and gut microbiota-mediated dietary tryptophan (Trp) metabolism on infection-induced inflammation using an Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced endometritis model in mice. We found that AhR activation by 6-formylindolo (3,2-b) carbazole (Ficz), which is an AhR agonist derived from the photooxidation of Trp, alleviated E. coli-induced endometritis by repairing barrier function and inhibiting inflammatory responses, while inhibition of AhR by CH223191, which is a synthetic AhR antagonist, aggravated E. coli-induced endometritis. Gut dysbiosis damaged AhR activation and exacerbated E. coli-induced endometritis in mice, which responded to the reduced abundance of AhR ligand producers, such as
