Comparative effects of raw and processed cistanche glycosides on the HPT axis and gut microbiota in a rat model of kidney-yang deficiency.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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: Kidney Yang Deficiency (KYD) is a metabolic disorder associated with kidney damage. Its slow progression means that causative factors and effective therapeutic agents remain unclear. Extensive evidence links KYD to gut microbiome metabolic diseases and the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid (HPT) axis. Methods: CDG was extracted from both raw and processed CD and analyzed via HPLC. Propylthiouracil-induced KYD rats were used to assess pharmacological effects, including serum levels of T Results: Fecal non-targeted metabolomics identified 98 metabolites associated with KYD, while 16S rRNA sequencing revealed 13 key intestinal microbiotas linked to KYD. CDG therapy effectively alleviated KYD symptoms by modulating the gut microbiota, improving metabolic and microbial imbalances in KYD. RG/WG significantly improves KYD rats mainly through the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and arachidonic acid metabolism. The key bacterial genera Discussion: This integrative approach of gut microbiome and fecal metabolomics not only provides a scientific basis for CDG's preventive effects on KYD via the HPT axis but also elucidates the potential mechanisms underlying CDG's action against KYD.
