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

introductionThe gut microbiome has been related to several features present in Glycogen Storage Diseases (GSD) patients including obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver disease.

objectivesThe primary objective of this study was to investigate associations between GSD and the gut microbiota.

methodsTwenty-four GSD patients on treatment with uncooked cornstarch (UCCS), and 16 healthy controls had their faecal microbiota evaluated through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Patients and controls were ≥3 years of age and not on antibiotics. Faecal pH, calprotectin, mean daily nutrient intake and current medications were recorded and correlated with gut microbiome.

resultsPatients' group presented higher intake of UCCS, higher prevalence of IBD (n = 04/24) and obesity/overweight (n = 18/24) compared to controls (n = 0 and 06/16, respectively). Both groups differed regarding diet (in patients, the calories' source was mainly the UCSS, and the intake of fat, calcium, sodium, and vitamins was lower than in controls), use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (patients = 11, controls = 0; p-value = 0.001) multivitamins (patients = 22, controls = 01; p-value = 0.001), and mean faecal pH (patients = 6.23; controls = 7.41; p = 0.001). The GSD microbiome was characterized by low diversity and distinct microbial structure. The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) abundance was significantly influenced by faecal pH (r = 0.77; p = 6.8e-09), total carbohydrate (r = -0.6; p = 4.8e-05) and sugar (r = 0.057; p = 0.00013) intakes.

conclusionsGSD patients presented intestinal dysbiosis, showing low faecal microbial diversity in comparison with healthy controls. Those findings might be due to the disease per se, and/or to the different diets, use of UCSS and of medicines, and obesity rate found in patients. Although the main driver of these differences is unknown, this study might help to understand how the nutritional management affects GSD patients.
