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

Bile acids play a dual role by aiding lipid absorption and acting as signaling molecules by interacting with various receptors. Bile acids are perpetually recycled via enterohepatic circulation and are biotransformation by gut microbiota, making bile acid metabolism a critical regulator of intestinal homeostasis. The intestinal epithelium prominently expresses two key bile acid receptors - the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5) - which play indispensable roles in maintaining bile acid homeostasis and intestinal barrier function. Due to the abundant expression of bile acid receptors and the importance of the intestine in preventing pathogen invasion, researchers are increasingly focused on the function of bile acids in this system. This article focuses on the effect of bile acids and their receptors, FXR and the TGR5, in modulating intestinal barrier function.
