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: Constipation is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder demanding effective therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of Methods: PCP-g was purified from Results: PCP-g was identified as a homogeneous galactoglucan with a molecular weight of 7.49 × 10 Discussion: PCP-g effectively alleviates constipation by enhancing intestinal motility and fecal hydration. It modulates the PKA-AQP3 signaling pathway to improve colonic water permeability and positively influences the gut environment through the generation of SCFAs. These findings suggest that PCP-g may serve as a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of constipation, operating through aquaporin signaling and the regulation of the gut environment. The study advocates for further clinical trials and highlights the potential of edible mushroom polysaccharides in the management of constipation.
