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

Cerebral stroke is characterized by high rate of disability and mortality. Emerging evidence indicates a relationship between acute ischemic stroke and alterations in the intestinal microbiota. Herein, the mechanism of Eucommia ulmoides extract (EUE) within ischemic stroke will be investigated from the perspective of intestinal microflora. In the study, EUE significantly reduced the area of cerebral infarction, ameliorated neurological deficits, and reduced neuronal death in mice. EUE reversed intestinal microbiota deregulation by regulating bacterial abundance, including up-regulating the abundance of the beneficial bacteria Dubosiella, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and down-regulating the abundance of the deleterious bacteria Helicobacter, Bifidobacterium, Allobaculum, and Ileibacterium abundance. In addition, EUE also upregulated metabolites associated with inflammation and neuroprotection, including LysoPE, octadecyl fumarate, and adrenic acid. In in vitro experiments, the combination of EUE and LysoPE (0:0/20:4) significantly inhibited apoptosis, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress levels in OGD cells compared to use alone. In conclusion, EUE significantly alleviated symptoms and neurological deficits in MCAO mice, and its mechanism is related to its involvement in remodeling intestinal microbiota and metabolism. EUE and LysoPE (0:0/20:4) are expected to be a potential novel regimen for the clinical treatment of cerebral ischemic stroke.
