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

Intestinal inflammation poses a significant challenge to pig production, as it impairs gut health, compromises growth performance, and results in substantial economic losses. Therefore, preventing and controlling intestinal inflammation in pigs is essential for maintaining intestinal health and production efficiency. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are gut microbiota metabolites that play an important role in alleviating intestinal inflammation by regulating macrophage function. Mechanistic insights largely derived from murine and in vitro studies have revealed that SCFAs regulate macrophage mediated inflammation through mechanisms involving histone deacetylases (HDACs), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and other pathways. Moreover, nutritional strategies such as dietary fiber, prebiotics, and fermented feed for alleviating intestinal inflammation in pigs are discussed. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for developing SCFA-based nutritional interventions to improve gut health, immune regulation, and production performance in pigs.
