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

This study investigated the protective effects of a polyherbal tea (PHT) on intestinal injury in hyperuricemia (HUA) mice and the underlying mechanisms. PHT was orally administered to mice for 49 days, while potassium oxonate and hypoxanthine were administered 7 days after PHT administration and continued for 42 days to cause HUA. Treatment with PHT significantly reduced serum uric acid and blood urea nitrogen levels in HUA mice. It also inhibited liver xanthine oxidase activity and promoted intestinal uric acid excretion through the upregulation of transporters GLUT9 and ABCG2. Intestinal barrier integrity was reinforced, as evidenced by the restoration of the villous structure, reduction in edema, and upregulation of tight junction proteins (occludin, ZO-1) and mucin (MUC2). Moreover, PHT suppressed serum LPS levels and inhibited the NF-κB pathway, leading to a reduction in TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the gut. Gut microbiota analysis revealed PHT reversed dysbiosis, enriching beneficial bacteria like
