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

Stroke is a condition characterized by high rates of morbidity, mortality, and disability. Developing new and effective treatments is critical for improving stroke rehabilitation outcomes. Microbiota-gut-brain axis has garnered significant attention as a bidirectional communication network linking gut microbiota with their host organisms. A considerable number of post-stroke patients develop gastrointestinal complications. The microbiota plays a critical role in both the development and prognosis of stroke. Ellagic acid, which possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, may modulate the gut microbiota and thereby improve stroke outcomes. This review focuses on the intricate interplay among gut microbiota, ellagic acid, and stroke pathogenesis and recovery. We systematically analyzed the in vivo metabolism of ellagic acid, elucidating its key biological activities and therapeutic potentials. Concurrently, we pointed out its limitations such as solubility-limited bioavailability. This report highlights that ellagic acid can ameliorate stroke outcomes by modulating gut microbiota, proposes the development of advanced drug delivery systems and bioactive derivatives as promising strategies to enhance its efficacy and translational potential.
