Xuanhuang Runtong Tablets Relieve Slow Transit Constipation in Mice by Regulating TLR5/IL-17A Signaling Mediated by Gut Microbes.

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.
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
This study aims to investigate the regulation effects of Xuanhuang Runtong tablets (XHRTs) on intestinal microbes and inflammatory signal toll receptor 5 (TLR5)/interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in STC mice. First, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to verify the composition of XHRT and quality control. Then, the defecation ability of STC mice was evaluated by measuring fecal water content and intestinal transit function. The pathological examination of colonic mucosa was observed by Alcian Blue and periodic acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining. 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) genes were sequenced to detect the fecal microbiota. Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) were applied to detect the expression of aquaporin 3 (AQP3), connexin 43 (Cx43), TLR5, and IL-17A. The defecation function of the STC mice was significantly decreased. The amount of mucus secretion and the thickness of the colonic mucus layer were decreased, and the number of microbial species in the intestinal wall, such as Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes, anaerobic bacteria, and
