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

The objective of this study was to investigate the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of the mixed extract of Staphylococcus and Neisseria tablets (Qipian) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in mice and its relationship with lung and gut microbiota. C57BL/6 mice were divided into two models (prophylactic versus therapeutic administration). In the model of prophylactic administration, the mice were exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) for 16 weeks and divided into CS+Qipian group, CS+OM-85 group, and CS control group. Compared to the CS control group, mice in both CS+Qipian and CS+OM-85 groups had improved lung function, reduced pulmonary bullae and inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced collagen deposition around the bronchi, and decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines in the lung tissue. Qipian and OM-85 significantly increased the diversity of gut and lung microbiota and the abundance of Bacteroidetes,
