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

aimsGastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, as a common peripheral-organ complication after traumatic brain injury (TBI), is primarily characterized by gut inflammation and damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier (IMB). Previous studies have confirmed that TongQiao HuoXue Decoction (TQHXD) has strong anti-inflammatory properties and protects against gut injury. However, few have reported on the therapeutic effects of TQHXD in a TBI-induced GI dysfunction model. We aimed to explore the effects of TQHXD on TBI-induced GI dysfunction and the underlying mechanism thereof.

methodsWe assessed the protective effects and possible mechanism of TQHXD in treating TBI-induced GI dysfunction via gene engineering, histological staining, immunofluorescence (IF), 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot (WB), and flow cytometry (FCM).

resultsTQHXD administration ameliorated TBI-induced GI dysfunction by modulating the abundance and structure of bacteria; reconstructing the destroyed epithelial and chemical barriers of the IMB; and improving M1/M2 macrophage, T-regulatory cell (Treg)/T helper 1 cell (Th

conclusionTQHXD exerted therapeutic effects on TBI-induced GI dysfunction by regulating the intestinal biological, chemical, epithelial, and immune barriers of the IMB, and this effect resulted from the stimulation of CD36/NR4A1/15-LO signaling; however, it could not do so when CX3CR1 and CD36 were deficient. TQHXD might therefore be a potential drug candidate for treating TBI-induced GI dysfunction.
