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

backgroundGut barrier integrity prevents microbial translocation and systemic infection. Chronic alcohol disrupts this barrier, but its role in infection susceptibility among immune-compromised hosts remains unclear. We investigated how chronic alcohol promotes gut barrier dysfunction, endotoxemia, and dysbiosis, predisposing to bacterial translocation and sepsis.

methodsTwenty-four-week-old female FcγRIIb

resultsChronic alcohol induced gut barrier dysfunction in both groups, with more severe effects in FcγRIIb

conclusionsAlcohol-induced gut barrier dysfunction, endotoxemia, and dysbiosis predispose to bacterial translocation and early sepsis, particularly in hosts with impaired inhibitory Fcγ receptor signaling, supporting gut barrier preservation as a strategy for preventing alcohol-associated infections and sepsis.
