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

Atractylenolide III, a sesquiterpene extracted from the rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala (Asteraceae), exhibits pharmacological effects, including improvement of gastrointestinal function, regulation of immune function, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Pyrotinib, a representative TKI originally developed in China, is classified as a Class 1.1 novel drug, exhibits superior efficacy compared to similar drugs. Notably, the overall incidence of pyrotinib-induced diarrhea stands at 95 %, with 40 % of cases classified as grade ≥3 diarrhea. Currently, the effect of Atractylenolide III on pyrotinib-induced diarrhea and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, we established a pyrotinib (80 mg/kg/day) Wistar rat diarrhea model to explore the effect of Atractylenolide III on pyrotinib-induced diarrhea. We exploded the potential mechanism of Atractylenolide III via MQAE chloride fluorescent probe, RT-qPCR, Western blot, 16S rRNA sequencing, metabolomics, etc. We found that Atractylenolide III demonstrated the ability to alleviate pyrotinib-induced diarrhea without compromising its anti-tumor effects, inhibited pyrotinib-induced chloride secretion, and the potential mechanism of action involved enhancing AMPK phosphorylation while decreasing CFTR protein expression. Additionally, Atractylenolide III alleviated pyrotinib-induced diarrhea by modulating intestinal flora structure and increasing lithocholic acid content. This study could provide potential novel traditional Chinese medicine targets for treating diarrhea caused by tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs, such as pyrotinib. The study emphasizes the role of TCM in minimizing adverse effects during tumor treatment.
