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

Rationale and objectives: Fuzi, the dried root of Methods: The short-chain fatty acid levels in cecal contents were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The gut microbiota 16S rRNA gene were sequenced by next generation sequencing. The mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS and COX-2 were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression of occludin and zonula occludens-1 were analyzed by Western blot. The white blood cells were counted using automated hematology analyzer, and CD4 Results and Conclusions: Fuzi polysaccharides had the function of elevating the concentration of acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, and n-butyric acid in the cecum. Meanwhile, Fuzi polysaccharides could decrease the relative abundance of
