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

backgroundMicroplastics can cause intestinal flora imbalance and testicular damage.

methodsSixty male ICR mice were randomly assigned to five groups: untreated mice (control group, CON); PE-MP-only-treated mice (MP group); and PE-MP-exposed mice orally administered with a crude ASKP preparation at 150, 300, and 450 mg/kg BW (LAM, MAM, and HAM groups, respectively) for 60 days.

resultsPE-MP exposure reduced the average daily gain, jejunal villus height, and serum testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels while increasing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress levels. However, ASKP supplementation, particularly at 300 mg/kg, partially restored growth performance, intestinal villus morphology, antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, sex hormone concentrations and seminiferous tubule diameter. Gut microflora analysis showed that crude ASKP preparation increased the

conclusionsCrude ASKP preparation mitigates PE-MP-induced toxicity in male mice by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation levels and improving gut microbiota composition and reproductive hormone levels.
