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

Intestinal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling plays a critical role in maintaining intestinal microbiota stability. In this study, we investigated the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and its ability to promote intestinal adaptation and stabilize the gut microbiota by activating intestinal FXR signaling in short bowel syndrome (SBS). In patients with type I SBS, fecal microbial α-diversity was decreased, Proteobacteria abundance was increased, and Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes abundance levels were decreased. In vitro, LGG supernatant (LGGs) upregulated FXR expression in Caco-2 cells and ileum organoids. In vivo, LGG supplementation significantly improved intestinal morphology in wild-type (WT) SBS mice, including increased villus height, crypt depth and goblet cell numbers. Serum fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) levels increased and fecal Proteobacteria abundance decreased, while secondary bile acids rose and primary bile acids declined in WT SBS mice after LGG supplementation. In addition, LGG supplementation also increased occludin and FXR expression in WT SBS mice, but not in intestinal FXR knockout (FXR
