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

introductionDeoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, is known to compromise gut barrier integrity and induce systemic inflammation.

objectivesThis study demonstrates that intestinal microbiota play a central role in DON-induced liver inflammation.

methodsThrough oral exposure and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiments in mice, we observed that DON disrupts intestinal structure, alters microbial composition, and activates liver inflammation via the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

resultsNotably, liver inflammation was replicated in pseudo-germ-free mice colonized with microbiota from DON-exposed donors, even in the absence of direct DON exposure. Microbial analysis identified Alloprevotella, a mucin-degrading genus associated with increased intestinal permeability, and Pseudomonas, a pathogenic genus enriched in the liver, as key candidate microbial drivers of this effect.

conclusionThese findings underscore that dysbiosis, especially involving specific bacterial genera, can independently trigger liver inflammation, highlighting a microbiota-mediated pathogenic mechanism in mycotoxin toxicity.
