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

Parkinson's Disease (PD) involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the formation of Lewy bodies consisting of alpha-synuclein (αSin) aggregates. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota metabolite, has emerged as a molecule of interest due to pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidative, and neurodegenerative effects. We aim to assess whether lower doses of TMAO (40 mg/kg bw, gavage, once daily, day 0-42), as those used in atherosclerosis experimental models, can exacerbate oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, motor dysfunction, and neurodegeneration in a semi-acute 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) PD model (30 mg/kg bw MPTP, intraperitoneal, once daily, day 20-24). Motor behavioral testing functionally validated the model, with MPTP impairing performance across Rotarod latency time (
