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

Aim of Study: The objective of this research is to clarify the mechanism by which FZJDF mitigates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- ALI through the enhancement of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production by Materials and Methods: The mice were treated with FZJDF for 7 days and then treated with LPS. The therapeutic efficacy of FZJDF against LPS-induced ALI was evaluated through lung-to-weight ratio, Inflammatory factor, pathological changes. Additionally, the intestinal barrier function was evaluated by analyzing tight junction protein expression levels. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to monitor alterations in the intestinal microbiome and pulmonary microbiota, while gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) were utilized to quantify the concentrations of SCFAs. Ultimately, the necessity of Results: FZJDF significantly decreased lung-to-weight ratio and reducing inflammatory cell infiltration of neutrophils. Furthermore, it significantly elevated the expression levels of tight junction proteins. It is plausible that FZJDF may improve intestinal and lung microecological imbalance and stimulate the synthesis of SCFAs. Notably, we determine Conclusion: Our results imply that FZJDF could exert its palliative effect in ALI by regulating the intestinal microbiota to increase the production of SCFAs, which in turn inhibits neutrophil-mediated inflammatory responses. These findings support microbiota-targeted traditional medicine as a translational strategy for acute lung injury.
