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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of sodium propionate in combination with Sishen Pill in the treatment of diarrhea with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome in mice, with a focus on its influence on intestinal microbiota, enzyme activity, and associated therapeutic outcomes. Methods: A model of diarrhea with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome was established via adenine combined with Results: Compared with natural recovery group, the 480 mg/kg sodium propionate group presented significant improvements in mental state, anal temperature, fecal water content, the thymus index, and Conclusion: The 75% Sishen Pill + 60 mg/kg sodium propionate can improve the symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome, promote the growth and development of mice, inhibit excessive bacterial proliferation, support the growth of beneficial bacteria, and enhance intestinal enzyme activity. Its effects are superior to the use of sodium propionate or Sishen Pill alone. These results suggest that this therapeutic ratio may optimize the efficacy of Sishen Pill in the treatment of diarrhea with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. However, further research is necessary to confirm whether this combination represents the most effective treatment regimen for this condition in mice.
