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

Introduction: Chemotherapy induced constipation (CIC) is a gastrointestinal side effect that occurs in patients receiving chemotherapy, which can further deteriorate the living quality of cancer patients. Deglycosylated azithromycin (Deg-AZM), a newly developed Class I drug with good therapeutic effects on chronic constipation, has been approved for clinical trials in 2024. However, it is unclear whether Deg-AZM has any impact on gut microbiota of CIC mice. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of Deg-AZM in treating CIC by modulating the gut microbiota. Methods: The therapeutic effects of Deg-AZM on intestinal motility were assessed in a cisplatin-induced CIC mouse model. The gut microbiota composition was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, and metabolic changes were evaluated through untargeted metabolomics of fecal samples. Results: Deg-AZM significantly enhanced intestinal motility in the mice with cisplatin-evoked constipation. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that Deg-AZM altered the community composition by decreasing Conclusion: Deg-AZM could alleviate cisplatin-evoked constipation in mice by reshaping the structure of gut microbial community, which may provide a potential basis for the use and clinical development of Deg-AZM for CIC treatment.
