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

Background: Neurotransmitters are key signaling molecules in the brain-gut axis, may be involved in stress-induced ulcer damage. Objective: This study aims to address the relationship between gut microbiota and the stress response is examined in this review, with a focus on how neurotransmitters moderate the impact of stress on mucosal integrity and gut health. Understanding these mechanisms may open new avenues for therapeutic interventions targeting the brain-gut axis. Methods: A literature search was completed using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Scopus and Embase databases for clinical and preclinical studies related to stress ulcer, gut microbiota and gut brain axis that published in English until November 2024. Results: The gut microbiota plays important role in preserving the health of the digestive system and influencing the body's stress response through various pathways, including the enteric and autonomic nervous systems. This results in the production of microbial metabolites such as bile acids, tryptophan, and short-chain fatty acids that enter the bloodstream and go to the brain. Microbial neurotransmitters change the brain's gastrointestinal axis. Conclusion: The connection between stress ulcer, neurotransmitters, and the gut microbiota was outlined in this review.
