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

Recent research has indicated that polysaccharides extracted from Sargassum (SP) possess promising activity in alleviating type I hypersensitivity reactions. However, effects of SP and Sargassum oligosaccharides (SO) on immune regulation and gut microbiota in type IV hypersensitivity remain unexplored. In this study, SP and SO were prepared and structurally characterized. SP contained high-molecular-weight fractions (866 kDa and 276 kDa), whereas SO was composed of low-molecular-weight components (3.74 kDa and 126 Da), lacked sulfate groups, and exhibited higher reducing sugar contents. The influence of SP and SO on immune regulation and the structure of gut microbial communities was examined using a mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH). Administration of SP and SO (25 or 250 mg/kg per day for 10 days) significantly attenuated DTH responses, evidenced by a decrease in footpad edema and a lower degree of cell infiltration. While both SP and SO had limited effects on serum IgG
