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

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin from Fusarium that contaminates cereals, can also induce intestinal injury. However, the mechanisms underlying DON-induced jejunal barrier injury remain unclear. This study demonstrates that shikimic acid (SA) alleviates DON-induced jejunal barrier damage and dysbiosis via antioxidant pathways. Fifty 5-week-aged male KM mice were divided into control (CON), model (MOD, 2.4 mg/kg bw DON), and SA-treated groups (LDG/MDG/HDG: 25/50/100 mg/kg bw SA + DON). After SA treatment, notably MDG, reversed DON-induced weight loss and jejunal hyperemia; ameliorated villus atrophy, crypt deepening and goblet cell loss, increasing villus/crypt ratio; reduced gut permeability markers (D-LA/DAO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α/IL-6/IL-1β); and dose-dependently upregulated tight junction proteins (ZO-1/Occludin/Claudin1). Mechanistically, SA activated the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway, elevating antioxidants (GSH/SOD/AOC) while reducing MDA, with MDG showing optimal efficacy. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed MDG counteracted DON-induced dysbiosis by enriching beneficial bacteria (e.g.,
