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

backgroundAlcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is characterized by gut-liver axis dysfunction and metabolic dysregulation, yet the therapeutic potential of probiotics remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of

methodsMice were pretreated with LP36 prior to ethanol exposure. Liver injury was assessed through serum ALT/AST levels, hepatic steatosis (TC/TG content), and ethanol detoxification capacity (ADH/ALDH activity). Intestinal barrier integrity was evaluated via Mucin2 and ZO-1 expression, and gut microbiota alterations were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Hepatic transcriptomics (RNA-seq) was performed to identify key regulatory pathways.

resultsLP36 significantly attenuated ethanol-induced liver injury, evidenced by reduced ALT/AST, improved hepatic steatosis (lower TC/TG), and enhanced ADH/ALDH activity. Mechanistically, LP36 restored intestinal barrier function (upregulated Mucin2 and ZO-1), modulated gut microbiota (suppressed

conclusionsLP36 ameliorates ethanol-induced ALD by enhancing intestinal barrier integrity, reshaping gut microbiota, and restoring AMPK-dependent metabolic homeostasis. These findings highlight LP36 as a promising probiotic candidate for ALD prevention.
