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

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are dynamically regulated by luminal contents, including dietary ingredients, food additives, and microbiota-derived metabolites. Although sugar substitutes are commonly used as food additives for their sweet taste and lower calorie content, there is limited experimental evidence regarding their potential to drive gut remodeling. In this study, we designed experimental models for short-term consumption of erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol widely used as a sugar substitute, and investigated its effects on gut remodeling and the underlying mechanisms. Our findings indicate that erythritol consumption induces hyperplasia in tuft cells (TCs) and goblet cells (GCs), as well as enhances the activity of intestinal stem cells-increases in expression levels of leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5), the key intestinal stem cell marker, in the number of proliferating stem cells, and facilitation of their differentiation into villi cells-while maintaining the number of Lgr5
