Review in ACS chemical biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The gut microbiome, the collection of 100 trillion microorganisms that resides in the intestinal lumen, plays major roles in modulating host physiology. One well-established function of the gut microbiota is that of colonization resistance or the ability of the microbial collective to protect the host against enteric pathogens. Although evidence suggests that these microbes may outcompete some pathogens, there remains a lack of mechanistic understanding that underlies this competitive exclusion. In recent years, there has been great interest in small-molecule metabolites that are produced by the gut microbiota and in understanding how these molecules regulate host-pathogen interactions. In this review, we briefly summarize these findings by focusing on several classes of metabolites that mediate this important process. Understanding these host-microbe interactions in the gut may lead to identification of potential candidates for the development of prophylactics and therapeutics for many infectious diseases that are impacted by the gut microbiome.
