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

Introduction: This study investigated the effects of a compound preparation combining Materials and methods: A CRF model was established in C57BL/6NCr mice using 5-fluorouracil. Mice were divided into four groups receiving varying concentrations of LB-Pro. Over 14 days, interventions were administered, followed by treadmill exhaustion tests to assess fatigue levels. Body weight, serum biomarkers (TNF- Results: Administration of medium- and high-concentration LB-Pro significantly improved fatigue-related outcomes, including prolonged exhaustion times and enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, compared to the control group. Low-concentration LB-Pro showed limited efficacy. Gut microbiota analysis revealed alterations in microbial composition, including enrichment of short-chain fatty acid-producing taxa, and metabolic pathways associated with energy metabolism and antioxidant defense were upregulated in probiotic-treated groups. Conclusion: LB-Pro alleviated chemotherapy-induced CRF in mice, likely through modulation of gut microbiota and enhancement of mitochondrial energy metabolism and antioxidant systems. These findings highlight the potential of integrative approaches combining traditional Chinese medicine and probiotics for managing CRF, emphasizing the gut microbiota-metabolic axis as a key therapeutic target.
