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

More than 80% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit severe gastrointestinal symptoms, which seriously affect life quality of life. Several large-scale epidemiological studies have confirmed that exercise can improve motor symptoms of PD patients, but the influence on gastrointestinal symptoms has not been reported. To clarify whether exercise can enhance intestinal barrier and ameliorate intestinal inflammation in PD mice, we examined whether moderate-intensity treadmill exercise for 6 weeks could alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced subacute PD mice. Our results demonstrated that 6 weeks moderate-intensity treadmill exercise enhanced the expression of Muc-2 and tight junction proteins, while reducing the expression of cytokines and chemokines, in the distal colon. Moreover, 6 weeks of treadmill exercise reduced the concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the expression of G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) to maintain the intestinal barrier and alleviate intestinal inflammation. Further data showed that 6 weeks of moderate-intensity treadmill exercise enhanced insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) expression and activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. Taken as a whole, these results revealed that 6 weeks of moderate-intensity treadmill exercise enhanced intestinal barrier function, reduced intestinal inflammation and corrected abnormal concentrations of SCFAs by activating IGF-1/PI3K/Akt pathway in MPTP-induced subacute PD mice.
