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

Emerging insights have been approached that gut microbiota act as a critical regulator for ionizing radiation (IR)-induced damage. Herein, an available strategy has been explored to shape gut microbiota for radioprotection by loading curcumin (Cur) into ginger-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (GDNs). Engineered biomimetic nanovesicles (GDN-Cur) exhibited superb stability in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby significantly enhancing the oral bioavailability of Cur. Consequently, the intrinsic antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties of GDNs and Cur granted this nanosystem exceptional protective effect against IR-induced injuries, especially in mitigating intestinal damage. Particularly, the dysbacteriosis triggered by IR could be counteracted through the oral administration of GDN-Cur, resulting in gut microbiota regulation-mediated syndrome mitigation. Furthermore, elevated abundances of
