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

purposeThe aim of the present study was to examine the protective effects of cinnamaldehyde (CA) on type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms by using multiple omics technology.

methodsT1DM was induced by streptozotocin in the mice. Immunostaining was performed to evaluate glycogen synthesis in the liver and morphological changes in the heart. Gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplification sequencing. The serum metabolomics were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The relevant gene expression levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR.

resultsCA treatment significantly improved the glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in T1DM mice. CA increased glycogen synthesis in the liver and protected myocardial injury in T1DM mice. CA affected the gut microbiota particularly by increasing the relative abundance of

conclusionOur results indicated that CA may interfere with gut microbiota to affect host metabolomics, especially the bile acids, so as to directly or indirectly modulate the expression levels of glucose metabolism-related genes, thus subsequently reducing the blood glucose level in the T1DM mice.
