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

Multispecies microbiome systems are known to be closely linked to human, animal, and plant life processes. The growing field of metabolomics presents the opportunity to detect changes in overall metabolomic profiles of microbial species interactions. These metabolomic changes provide insight into function of metabolites as they correlate to different species presence and the observed phenotypic changes, but detection of subtle changes is often difficult in samples with complex backgrounds. Natural environments such as soil and food contain many molecules that convolute mass spectrometry-based analyses, and identification of microbial metabolites amongst environmental metabolites is an informatics problem we begin to address here. Our microbes are grown on solid or liquid cheese curd media. This medium, which is necessary for microbial growth, contains high amounts of salts, lipids, and casein breakdown products which make statistical analyses using LC-MS/MS data difficult due to the high background from the media. We have developed a simple algorithm to carry out background subtraction from microbes grown on solid or liquid cheese curd media to aid in our ability to conduct statistical analyses so that we may prioritize metabolites for further structure elucidation.
