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

The ileum serves as the primary site for nutrient digestion and absorption in the intestine, with villus height representing a critical indicator of intestinal absorptive capacity. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying ileal villus development, we conducted a feeding trial using crossbred pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) with an initial body weight of 27.74 ± 0.28 kg, stratifying them into high-villus and low-villus groups based on ileal villus height (n = 4). The results revealed 849 differentially RNA-edited genes (REGs) between the two groups, including 472 hyper-edited genes in the low-villus group and 377 in the high-villus group. Functional enrichment analysis showed that these REGs were significantly enriched in inflammation-related pathways, particularly the TNF signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway, with TNF pathway genes exhibiting notably higher editing levels in the high-villus group. Additionally, 46 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, comprising 22 upregulated in the low-villus group and 24 in the high-villus group, which were similarly enriched in TNF and IL-17 signaling pathways. Integrated quadrant analysis of the RNA editing and transcriptomic profiles demonstrated that pro-inflammatory genes CXCL10 (C-X-C motif chemokine 10), CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2), CREB3L2 (CAMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like 2), and PIK3R1 (Phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1) were highly expressed in the low-villus group but exhibited significantly lower RNA editing levels compared to the high-villus group. Furthermore, the expression of the inflammation-suppressive RNA editing enzyme APOBEC1 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 1) showed correlation with villus height (R = 0.81,
