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

Background: Baicalin shows potent vasculoprotective effects against hypertension despite poor oral bioavailability. We investigated whether gut microbiota modulation contributes to the systemic vasculoprotective effects of orally administered baicalin. Methods: We utilized an Angiotensin II-induced hypertensive mouse model, employing broad-spectrum antibiotics, 16S rRNA sequencing, metabolomics, and Results: Oral Baicalin significantly attenuated Ang II-induced blood pressure elevation and improved the intestinal barrier integrity. Antibiotic-induced microbiota depletion substantially weakened these protective effects, supporting a major microbiota contribution under the present experimental conditions. Baicalin reshaped the gut microbial community, enriched SCFA-supporting taxa, and restored a putative butyrate-associated microbial signature, enriching Conclusion: Baicalin alleviates Ang II-associated vascular remodelling, at least in part, by reprogramming gut microbial ecology, increasing luminal butyrate availability, promoting regulatory immune responses, and suppressing VSMC proliferative signalling.
