Geniposide Protects Against Myocardial Infarction Injury via the Restoration in Gut Microbiota and Gut-Brain Axis.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Improving gut dysbiosis and impaired gut-brain axis has been a potent therapeutic strategy for treating myocardial infarction (MI). Geniposide (GEN), a traditional Chinese medicine extract, has demonstrated substantial cardioprotective properties post-MI. Nevertheless, the effect of GEN on gut microbial, gut-brain communication, and its potential mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we initially found that GEN significantly alleviated MI-induced cardiac dysfunction from echocardiographic data and decreased myocardial fibrosis, inflammation, apoptosis and hypertrophy post-MI. Additionally, we investigated the effects of GEN on gut pathology, and observed that GEN led to a remarkable change in gut microbiota as evidenced by altering β-diversity and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels, and alleviated intestinal damage indicated by reduced inflammation and barrier permeability post-MI. Finally, our investigation into brain pathology revealed that GEN induced a remarkable inhibition in PVN inflammation and sympathetic activity following MI. Collectively, these findings imply that the cardioprotective effects of GEN against MI were mediated possibly via an improvement in the impaired gut-brain axis. Mechanically, GEN-induced increase of microbiota-derived SCFAs might be the critical factor linking gut microbiota and reduced neuroinflammation with PVN, which leads to the suppression of sympathetic activation, therefore protecting the myocardium against MI-induced damage.
