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

introductionFluorosis is a global public health disease affecting more than 50 countries and 500 million people. Excessive fluoride damages the liver and intestines, yet the mechanisms and therapeutic approaches remain unclear.

objectivesTo explore the mechanisms by which fluoride-induced intestinal-hepatic damage and vitamin B

methodsFluoride and/or vitamin B

resultsThe results demonstrated that fluoride induced hepatointestinal injury and enterohepatic circulation disorder by altering the synthesis, transporters, and FXR-FGF15 pathway regulation of total bile acid. Importantly, the ileum was found to be the most sensitive and fluoride changed ileal microbiome particularly by reducing abundance of Bifidobacterium. While vitamin B

conclusionFluoride induces morphological and functional impairment of liver and gut tissues, as well as enterohepatic circulation disorder by altering total bile acid (TBA) synthesis, transporters, and FXR-FGF15 signaling regulation. Vitamin B2 attenuated fluoride-induced enterohepatic circulation disorder through IL-17A knockout and ileal microbiome regulation. The ileum was found to be the most sensitive to fluoride, leading to changes in ileal microbiome, particularly the reduction of Bifidobacterium. Furthermore, Bifidobacterium supplementation reversed fluoride-induced hepatointestinal injury. This study not only elucidates a novel mechanism by which fluoride causes hepatointestinal toxicity, but also provides a new physiological function of vitamin B
