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 large intestine, part of the distal gastrointestinal tract, is vital for water and electrolyte absorption and microbial fermentation. It is also a significant immune organ endowed with an extensive and intricate neural network. Intestinal epithelial cells are essential for endocrine regulation and maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Stroke, a leading cause of adult mortality and disability, occurs when there is a lack of oxygen to the brain and involves complex cerebrovascular dynamics that significantly impact systemic functions. In this framework, the gut-brain axis-the bidirectional circuitry connecting the gut and the central nervous system (CNS)-emerges as a critical interface. This review examines the immunological, neurological, endocrine, and barrier functions of the large intestine and explores its interplay with stroke pathophysiology. By detailing the interrelation between stroke and large intestinal functions, this paper aims to provide a foundational reference for advancing research into their intertwined mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
