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

Aim: This study aims to explore the effect of different doses of antibiotics on rats in order to observe alterations in their fecal microbiota, inflammatory changes in the colonic mucosa and four types of inflammatory markers in blood serum. Methods: Our methodology involved separating 84 female Sprague Dawley rats into groups A-G, with each group consisting of 12 rats. We collected the rat feces for analysis, using a distinct medium for bacterial cultivation and counting colonies under a microscope. On the 11th and 15th days of the experiment, half of the rats from each group were euthanized and 5 mL of abdominal aortic blood and colon tissues were collected. Inflammations changes of colon were observed and assessed by pathological Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining. Enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) was adopted for detecting C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, IL1-β and TNF-α. Results: Our findings revealed that the initial average weight of the rats did not differ between groups ( Conclusion: This study suggests that antibiotics administration can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the rat gut ecosystem, resulting in an inflammatory response in their bloodstream and inducing inflammation changes of colon.
