The gut microbiome modulates gut-brain axis glycerophospholipid metabolism in a region-specific manner in a nonhuman primate model of depression.

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.
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
Emerging research demonstrates that microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis changes are associated with depression onset, but the mechanisms underlying this observation remain largely unknown. The gut microbiome of nonhuman primates is highly similar to that of humans, and some subordinate monkeys naturally display depressive-like behaviors, making them an ideal model for studying these phenomena. Here, we characterized microbial composition and function, and gut-brain metabolic signatures, in female cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) displaying naturally occurring depressive-like behaviors. We found that both microbial and metabolic signatures of depressive-like macaques were significantly different from those of controls. The depressive-like monkeys had characteristic disturbances of the phylum Firmicutes. In addition, the depressive-like macaques were characterized by changes in three microbial and four metabolic weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) clusters of the MGB axis, which were consistently enriched in fatty acyl, sphingolipid, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. These microbial and metabolic modules were significantly correlated with various depressive-like behaviors, thus reinforcing MGB axis perturbations as potential mediators of depression onset. These differential brain metabolites were mainly mapped into the hippocampal glycerophospholipid metabolism in a region-specific manner. Together, these findings provide new microbial and metabolic frameworks for understanding the MGB axis' role in depression, and suggesting that the gut microbiome may participate in the onset of depressive-like behaviors by modulating peripheral and central glycerophospholipid metabolism.
