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

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common clinical functional gastrointestinal disease. It has a complex pathophysiological mechanism, in which the imbalance of gut microbiota might play an important role. Lacidophilin tablets (LH) can regulate gut microbiota, but their effect on IBS is unknown. In this study, the IBS model was established by acetic acid enema combined with the constrained stress method, and rats were fed LH for 2 weeks. LH significantly reduced visceral sensitivity and intestinal propulsion rate and improved IBS-induced anxiety and depressive behavior in IBS rats. LH elevated the expression levels of mucin 2, claudin1, and occludin, and ameliorated IBS-induced structural damage to colonic tissues. The gut microbiota analysis revealed that LH altered the structure and composition of the gut microbiota in IBS rats. In addition, LH reduced the expression levels of inflammatory factor-related genes. These results suggest that LH could significantly improve the visceral sensitivity and intestinal motility disorders of IBS rats, relieve anxiety and depression levels, and alleviate the symptoms of IBS rats by regulating gut microbiota and reducing intestinal inflammation.
