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

backgroundThe Chinese dwarf cherry (CDC) has been valued for over 2000 years for its medicinal and nutritional properties, particularly its kernels. Despite its recognition as a rich source of oil, the potential health benefits of CDC kernel oil remain unclear.

methodInitially, we evaluated the preventive effectiveness of CDC in a mouse model of constipation induced by loperamide.

resultsThe findings indicated that CDC kernel oil alleviated constipation by reducing the first black fecal defecation time and increasing the fecal number, wet weight, water content and gastrointestinal transit rate in model mice. Additionally, CDC kernel oil reduced inhibitory neurotransmitters and increased excitability neurotransmitters, two anti-oxidases' activity and fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content. Histological analysis revealed an improved mucus cell morphology in the intestinal tract. Furthermore, CDC kernel oil increased the abundance of some beneficial bacteria. It was identified that the gut microbiota was associated with neurotransmitters, mediators of inflammation and SCFAs.

conclusionThe findings offer a scientific foundation for considering CDC kernel oil as a potential functional food for the alleviation of constipation.
