Gut microbiota metabolite butyric acid alleviated
Article in Burns & trauma, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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: The expression of CX3CR1 is regulated by the gut microbiota and is correlated with the prognosis of sepsis in patients. However, the underlying mechanism has remained uncertain. This study aims to explore the role of gut microbiota components in regulating CX3CR1 expression and its impact on pneumonia-induced lung injury during sepsis. Methods: Mice were fed a mixture of antibiotics to establish a pseudogerm-free mouse model and then infected with Results: In the animal study, we revealed that the expression of CX3CR1 on NK cells depended on the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites, which were related to the survival rates of gut microbiota-depleted mice after Conclusions: We concluded that butyric acid alleviated
