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

Cyclophosphamide (CTX), a chemotherapy agent, can weaken immune responses and disrupt gut microbiota, resulting in dysbiosis and inflammation. The gut microbiota, a composite community of microorganisms, plays a central role in regulating metabolism, supporting biological functions, and maintaining immune balance. Dysbiosis may lead to various systemic diseases and metabolic issues. This underscores the importance of immunomodulators to boost immune health and restore balance during CTX treatment. This study assessed the impact of scallop peptide hydrolysate (SCH), derived from scallops collected from a local seafood market in Dalian, China, on immune suppression, intestinal integrity, and gut microbiota composition in BALB/c mice with CTX-induced immunosuppression. The findings demonstrated that SCH significantly restored intestinal mucosal integrity of goblet cells, enhanced the levels of tight-junction proteins (Occludens, Zonula-1, Mucin-2, Claudin-1), and improved the histological state of both the colon and spleen. SCH treatment resulted in increased body weight, improved immune organ indices, and enhanced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins, while reducing anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, SCH exhibited no cytotoxic effects on RAW264.7 macrophages, promoting the formation of pseudopodia and enhancing phagocytic activity, thereby improving cell-mediated immunity and splenic lymphocyte proliferation. Moreover, SCH therapy markedly increased the numbers of CD4
