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

Intestinal inflammation involves barrier impairment, immune hyperactivation, and oxidative stress imbalance. Bioactive polysaccharides universally alleviate inflammation via anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating effects, yet exhibit distinct core mechanisms. Elucidating these differences is vital for targeted polysaccharide applications. This research examines distinct regulatory pathways through which diverse bioactive polysaccharides mitigate lipopolysaccharide-triggered intestinal inflammation in male Kunming (KM) mice. This experiment employed Lentinula edodes polysaccharide (LNT), Auricularia auricula polysaccharide (AAP), Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP), Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP), and Brassica rapa polysaccharide (BRP). The expression levels of biomarkers associated with the TLR4 signaling pathway, oxidative stress, and intestinal barrier function were quantified, along with comprehensive gut microbiota profiling. The results showed that all five polysaccharides alleviated inflammatory responses in mice by inhibiting inflammatory cytokine release, reducing oxidative damage, and modulating gut microbiota, but their modes of action differed: LBP significantly suppressed the TLR-4/MyD88 signaling pathway and its downstream pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, thereby blocking inflammatory signal transduction and reducing oxidative damage; LNT and CMP enhanced the body's antioxidant capacity by increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels; AAP and BRP enriched
