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

Acute liver injury (ALI) is a severe clinical condition that can progress to chronic liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma, yet therapeutic options remain limited. Here, we investigated how hepatotoxin-induced gut-liver dysbiosis drives hepatic inflammation through microbial crosstalk. Using three murine ALI models, we assessed liver injury, intestinal barrier integrity, microbial composition along the gut-liver axis, and immune activation. Each hepatotoxin recapitulated distinct features of human ALI and induced unique patterns of hepatic and intestinal injury, enabling the progressive translocation of live bacteria from the gut to the liver and bloodstream. ALI was consistently associated with depletion of commensal taxa (
