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: The gut microbiome affects the occurrence and development of NAFLD, but its mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. Chinese medicine is a new treatment strategy to improve NAFLD by regulating the gut microbiome. Tianhuang formula (TH) has been proved to have a lipid-lowering effect in which constituents of ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Rb, ginsenoside Re, and ginsenoside R1 from Method: The characteristics of the gut microbiome were represented by 16S rRNA sequencing, and the metabolites in intestinal contents and liver were discovered by non-targeted metabolomics. Correlation analysis and fermentation experiments revealed the relationship between the gut microbiome and metabolites. Blood biochemical indicators, liver function indicators, and oxidation-related indicators were assayed. H&E staining and Oil Red O staining were used to analyze the characteristics of hepatic steatosis. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression of genes and proteins in liver tissues, and fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) was performed to verify the role of the gut microbiome. Results: Gut microbiome especially Conclusion: The study has demonstrated a mechanism by which the gut microbiome modulated oxidative stress in NAFLD mice induced by HFD. The traditional Chinese medicine TH improved NAFLD by regulating the gut microbiome, and its mechanism was related to the "
