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

Introduction: The gut-lung axis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). While intestinal microbiota, particularly Methods: In this study, juvenile mice were orally gavaged with live AKK or AKK-MC for 14 days, with LPS-induced ALI established on day 11. Lung tissues were analyzed for morphological changes and inflammatory cytokine analysis. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for total cell counts and protein concentration. Macrophages and neutrophils infiltration in the lungs was quantified via immunofluorescence staining. Four segments of the intestinal tract (jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon) were harvested for histological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS), and toluidine blue (TBO) staining. These evaluations included measurements of villus height to crypt depth, intestinal injury scoring, and counts of goblet and mast cells. Results: AKK-MC treatment resulted in higher fecal abundance of AKK compared to AKK group. AKK treatment attenuated LPS-induced weight loss and mitigated lung damage. This was evidenced by reduced protein concentration and cell counts in BALF, downregulation of Conclusion: These results demonstrate that microencapsulation enhances AKK's efficacy in ameliorating LPS-induced ALI in juvenile mice through gut microbiota modulation. This study provides a crucial foundation for the development of probiotic-based interventions in pediatric ALI.
