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

Objective: This study aims to analyze the changes of fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content and gut microbiota composition in sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) mice, further evaluating the effect of SCFAs on cognitive function and the underlying mechanism in SAE mice. Methods: A total of 55 male adult C57BL/6 mice (2-3 months of age, 20-25 g) were divided into four groups randomly: sham group ( Results: The levels of acetic acid (.57 ± 0.09 vs 2.00 ± 0.24, Conclusion: Our study suggested that in SAE, the levels of acetate and propionate decreased significantly, accompanied by gut microbiota dysbiosis, particularly a decrease in SCFAs-producing bacteria. GPR43 was essential for the anti-neuroinflammation and cognitive protective effect of SCFAs in SAE.
