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

Sucralose is one of the most widely used non-nutritive sweeteners and has long been considered metabolically inert and safe within established acceptable daily intake levels. However, emerging evidence suggests that chronic exposure to sucralose may alter gut microbial composition, epithelial barrier function, mucosal inflammation, and immune responses. This review examines current experimental and clinical evidence on the effects of sucralose on the gut-immune axis, with particular attention to its potential implications for colitis and colorectal cancer (CRC). Preclinical studies indicate that sucralose may reduce beneficial short-chain fatty acid-producing taxa, alter microbial metabolic pathways, disrupt epithelial barrier-related molecules, and promote inflammatory and immune changes associated with colitis severity and inflammation-driven tumorigenesis. Experimental evidence also suggests that sucralose may impair CD8
