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: Emerging evidence links gut-brain axis dysregulation to migraine pathogenesis. Methods: A nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced migraine rat model was established. Migraine behaviors were video-recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify neuroinflammatory and neurotransmitter markers (5-HT, CGRP1, TNF-α, NO, PGE2, DA) in plasma and brain tissue. Intestinal barrier integrity was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of tight junction proteins (Occludin/ZO-1) and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining of colonic tissue. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples, and serum metabolomic profiles were characterized using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF MS). Multi-omics data were integrated to identify key therapeutic targets and pathways. Results: Baizhi alleviated migraine behaviors (head-scratching frequency reduced) and normalized neurochemical dysregulation (plasma and brain tissue 5-HT, CGRP1, TNF-α reduced vs. model). It restored intestinal barrier integrity via Occludin/ZO-1 upregulation and suppressed colonic inflammation. Gut microbiota analysis demonstrated that Baizhi increased the abundance of Conclusion: Baizhi alleviates migraine through multi-target coordination: reinforcing gut barrier function, enriching anti-inflammatory
