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

Bifidobacterium bifidum TMC3115 strain (TMC3115) was orally administrated to 47 subjects with mild hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia aged 45 to 75 years for 3 weeks. Blood samples were collected before and after intervention for profiling plasma total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, as well as fasting blood glucose. Before and 3 and 4 weeks after intervention, the faecal samples were collected to analyse faecal microbiota using the sequencing of 16S rRNA genes with a next-generation sequencer. TMC3115 significantly decreased plasma TC and LDL-C levels of the tested subjects after intervention (P < 0.05). The frequencies of defaecation and faecal odour after the intervention and 1 week later were significantly better than at pre-intervention, respectively. TMC3115 administration increased Firmicutes, Bacteroides and Actinobacteria and decreases in Proteobacteria and Fusobacteria. There were significant increases in the proportions of Dorea and Lachnospira after the intervention (P < 0.05). TMC3115 also increased the level of Firmicutes and decreased that of Bacteroidetes 1 week after the intervention (P < 0.05). Serum triglycerides correlated negatively with the proportions of Bacteroidetes (R = - 0.21, P = 0.047) and Bacteroides (R = - 0.23, P = 0.029), while the relative abundance of Dialister of Firmicutes correlated negatively and significantly with the serum LDL-C (R = - 0.24, P = 0.022) and TC levels (R = - 0.22, P = 0.030). These results indicate that TMC3115 might exhibit beneficial effects on the serum cholesterol metabolism of subjects with dyslipidaemia through modulation of their intestinal microbiota. Trial registration: ChiCTR-OOC-16010271.
