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

Background: Radiation-induced enteropathy represents a key limitation to recovery after accidental radiation exposure or radiotherapy, with few effective pharmacological treatments. We investigated the therapeutic potential of ginsenoside Rb1, a major saponin from Methods: C57BL/6 mice were exposed to abdominal irradiation at a dose of 13.5 Gy and treated with Rb1. The epithelial integrity, bacterial translocation, and immune modulation were assessed. Results: Rb1 significantly alleviated radiation-induced crypt damage, villus shortening, bacterial translocation, and inflammation. It enhanced regulatory T (Treg) cell population and IL-10 secretion, which in turn activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling and promoted epithelial regeneration. Conclusion: Rb1 mitigated radiation-induced enteropathy by upregulating Treg abundance and IL-10 signaling, which in turn activated epithelial regeneration with Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation, supporting its potential as a therapeutic agent for radiation-induced intestinal injury.
