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

backgroundColon microbes produce a large number of organic compounds that are foreign to mammalian cell metabolism. SUMMARY: Some of the compounds made by microbes are absorbed in the colon and then normally excreted by the kidneys. Accumulation of these compounds in the plasma as uremic solutes may contribute to illness in patients whose kidneys have failed. Mass spectrometry is expanding our knowledge of the chemical identity of the colon-derived uremic solutes, and DNA sequencing technologies are providing new knowledge of the microbes and metabolic pathways by which they are made. Because they are made in an isolated compartment by microbes, their production may prove simpler to suppress than the production of other uremic solutes. KEY MESSAGES: To the extent that they are toxic, suppressing their production could improve the health of renal failure patients without the need for more intensive or prolonged dialysis.
