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 Bacteroidetes are numerically abundant Gram-negative organisms of the distal human gut with a greatly expanded capacity to degrade complex glycans. A subset of these are adept at scavenging host glycans within this environment, including mucin O-linked glycans, N-linked glycoproteins and highly sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparin (Hep) and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Several recent biochemical studies have revealed the specific polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) within the model symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron for the deconstruction of these host glycans. Here we discuss the Sus-like paradigm that defines glycan uptake by the Bacteroidetes and the salient details of the PULs that target heparin/heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (DS)/hyaluronic acid (HA), respectively, in B. thetaiotaomicron. The ability of the Bacteroidetes to target highly sulfated host glycans is key to their success in the gut environment but can lead to inflammation in susceptible hosts. Therefore, our continued understanding of the molecular strategies employed by these bacteria to scavenge carbohydrate nutrition is likely to lead to novel ways to alter their metabolism to promote host health.
