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

(1) Background: Glucuronolactone (GLU) is a glucose metabolite with antioxidant activity. At present, the exact role of it in regulating the intestinal health of piglets under weaning stress is not clear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of GLU on the growth performance and intestinal health of piglets under weaning stress and to explore potential mechanisms. (2) Methods: Twenty-four weaned piglets were randomly assigned into two groups, with one group receiving a basal diet and the other group receiving an experimental diet supplemented with 200 mg/kg of GLU. (3) Results: GLU increased the ADG, ADFI, and final body weight of piglets, while reducing the diarrhea rate. Mechanistically, GLU alleviates weaning stress-induced intestinal oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in piglets partly through activating the Nrf2-Akt signaling pathway to suppress the transcriptional activity of FOXO1, while also inhibiting the activation of the TLR4-MAPK signaling pathway to reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, GLU increased the relative abundance of
