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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAcute alcohol consumption can cause intestinal dysfunction, whereas L-theanine (LTA) has shown the potential to support intestinal health. We explored L-theanine's ability to protect against acute alcohol-induced injury.

methodsMale C57BL/6 mice were administered LTA for 28 d and then underwent acute alcohol intestinal injury modeling for 8 days.

resultsThe results revealed that LTA ameliorated alcohol-induced pathological damage in the duodenum and gut permeability, improved secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) content, and reduced oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content in mice. Furthermore, LTA restored the composition of the intestinal flora, increasing the abundance of

conclusionsThese results suggest that LTA may enhance the intestinal barrier by activating the HIF-1 signaling pathway to regulate the TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α axis, thereby reducing acute alcoholic intestinal injury.
