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

This study investigated the effects of peach gum polysaccharide (PGP) on chemotherapy-induced intestinal injury and behavioral changes in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice were injected with E0771 breast cancer cells and divided into 3 groups: control, chemotherapy (pirarubicin), and PGP treatment (pirarubicin plus PGP). Behavioral tests, colon length measurement, tissue staining, 16S rDNA sequencing, and metabolomics were performed. Transcriptomic data of colon and hippocampal tissues were analyzed and validated by Western blotting. PGP significantly alleviated colon damage, reduced inflammation and apoptosis, and restored colon length. It mitigated depressive behaviors by suppressing inflammasome activation in the hippocampus, increased gut microbiota diversity, and improved depression-associated metabolites. After the depletion of the intestinal flora, the antidepressant effect of PGP is significantly weakened. These findings suggest that PGP protects against chemotherapy-induced intestinal and behavioral damage by modulating the gut microbiota and gut-brain axis.
