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

Chronic inflammatory diseases reflect disrupted coordination among microbial ecology, epithelial barriers, lipid signaling, and immunity. The microbiome-endocannabinoidome (eCBome) axis is already recognized as a regulator of metabolism, permeability, and inflammatory tone; the unresolved issue is how to distinguish direct crosstalk from parallel or associative changes. This review therefore operationalizes the axis as an immunometabolic rheostat defined by five measurable domains: microbial functions and metabolites, compartment-specific eCBome ligands and enzymes, barrier integrity and microbial translocation, immune-cell programming, and tissue or clinical outcomes. We distinguish classical endocannabinoids (anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol) from the endocannabinoid-related N-acylethanolamines palmitoylethanolamide and oleoylethanolamide, which act prominently through PPARα, TRPV1, GPR119, and related pathways. Evidence is appraised as direct causal, mechanistically supportive, associative, or hypothesis-generating. The strongest causal foundation links microbiota manipulation to intestinal eCBome tone, permeability, and metabolic endotoxemia, while disease-specific evidence is most developed in obesity-associated inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease.
