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

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the effects of Xiaoqinglong decoction (XQLD) on the microbiota of the gut-lung axis at three key sites-the nasal cavity, lungs, and gut-in Allergic rhinitis (AR) mice, with particular attention to site-specific response patterns and their potential links to AR disease resolution. Methods: An ovalbumin-induced AR mouse model was established, with mice assigned to control, AR, loratadine, and XQLD groups. Intervention outcomes were assessed via behavioral observation, ELISA, histopathology, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, followed by correlation analysis. Results: Compared with the AR group, XQLD significantly reduced nasal symptoms, serum OVA-sIgE and IL-4 levels, and nasal mucosal injury. AR induction markedly altered the nasal and gut microbiota, whereas the lung microbiota remained relatively stable. XQLD significantly increased nasal Conclusion: XQLD differentially modulates the gut-lung axis microbiota in AR mice, with the most marked changes observed in the gut, which may correlate with its therapeutic effects and merit further mechanistic exploration.
