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 microbiota is widely considered to be involved in several diseases, including atherosclerosis, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study aimed to determine if changes in the gut microbiome and metabolome play a major role in the early pathogenesis of PAH. Male Wistar rats were injected with monocrotaline (MCT) (55 mg/kg) at day 1 and injected with calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) antagonist NPS2143 (4.5 mg/kg/d) from days 1 to 21. Fecal samples were obtained. The gut microbiota and metabolome were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and mass spectrometry-based analysis to investigate the effect of PAH in this rat model. MCT injection had a marked effect on the composition of the gut microbiota. This finding was further confirmed by metabolomic analysis with identification of several metabolites relevant to the gut microflora. However, NPS2143 partially abrogated this intestinal flora disorder and reversed fecal metabolite abnormalities. In conclusion, our study shows correlations between changes in the gut microbiome and the metabolome in PAH, which are affected by NPS2143.
