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

As an active ingredient of leguminous plants, genistein is extremely important for alleviating various human diseases. However, the regulatory effect of genistein on intestinal microbiota in alleviating enteritis is still unclear. In this study, the effect of genistein in alleviating dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis and the potential microbial metabolic regulation mechanism were explored. First, the effect of genistein on DSS-induced colitis was studied in mice. Then antibiotics were used to inhibit intestinal bacteria to verify that intestinal microorganisms play an important role in alleviating colitis of genistein. Finally, mice were administrated with live differential bacterium to confirm that genistein can regulate intestinal microorganisms to treat colitis. The results indicated that genistein alleviated DSS-induced colonic inflammation by inhibiting the Nuclear factor kappa-B and Cyclooxygenase-2/Prostaglandin E2 pathway. Genistein alleviated DSS-induced intestinal injury and decreased Mucin 2 secretion. Supplementation with genistein attenuated the DSS-induced decrease in the alpha diversity of gut bacteria. Genistein increased the abundance of
