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

This study investigated the effects of proline on intestinal injury in piglets infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Twenty-eight 7-day-old piglets were assigned to four groups: control (CON), proline (Pro), PEDV, and Pro + PEDV. Piglets in the Pro and Pro + PEDV groups received oral proline (500 mg/kg body weight) for 7 days. During the last 3 days, piglets in the PEDV and Pro + PEDV groups were inoculated with PEDV. Under PEDV infection, proline administration increased villus height and the villus height/crypt depth ratio in both the jejunum and ileum, and villus width and villus surface area in the ileum. Proline increased PEDV N protein abundance and interferon β (IFN-β) mRNA level in both intestinal segments, suppressed downstream antiviral genes in infected piglets, but upregulated these genes in the jejunum of uninfected piglets. Proline further increased interleukin 1β (IL-1β) concentrations and the expression of inflammation-related genes in the jejunum of infected piglets. Under PEDV infection, proline increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum and jejunum, while reducing jejunal H
