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

Background: Depression is closely associated with dysfunction of the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA). Total phenol from Methods: In this study, the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) method was used to establish a rat model of depression to investigate the ameliorative effects of HLTP on depression. Results: Behavioral and pathological results showed HLTP improved weight loss, increased sucrose preference, reduced forced swimming immobility time, novel-suppressed feeding latency, open field movement trajectory, and alleviated hippocampal CA1 neuronal damage in CUMS-depressed rats. At 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, HLTP increased dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NE), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), interleukin-10 (IL-10), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in the brain. It also decreased the inflammatory factor (TNF-α and IL-1β) in the brain, as well as corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and corticosterone (CORT) in serum and brain. HLTP modulated gut microbiota diversity and reversed CUMS-induced alterations in 15 bacterial taxa, including Conclusion: HLTP exerts antidepressant effects in CUMS-induced rats by modulating the MGBA. It enhances metabolic function, reduces neuroinflammatory damage, restores neurotrophic factor levels, suppresses hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and corrects monoamine neurotransmitter deficiencies, collectively contributing to the attenuation of depression-related symptoms.
