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

In the previous study, we found that the oral sodium valproate (SVP) increased the relative abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) in rats, and plasma aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were positively correlated with A. muciniphila levels. This study aimed to further investigate the role of A. muciniphila in SVP-induced hepatotoxicity by orally supplementing rats with the representative strain of A. muciniphila, A. muciniphila MucT. Additionally, the fresh faeces were incubated anaerobically with SVP to investigate the effect of SVP on faecal A. muciniphila in the absence of host influence. Results showed that A. muciniphila MucT ameliorated the hepatotoxicity and upregulation of A. muciniphila induced by SVP. SVP also induced a noteworthy elevation of A. muciniphila level in vitro, supporting the observation in vivo. Therefore, we speculate that A. muciniphila MucT may be a potential therapeutic strategy for SVP-induced hepatotoxicity. In addition, the increased A. muciniphila induced by SVP may differ from A. muciniphila MucT, but further evidence is needed. These findings provide new insights into the relationships between A. muciniphila and SVP-induced hepatotoxicity, highlighting the potential for different A. muciniphila strains to have distinct or even opposing effects on SVP-induced hepatotoxicity.
