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

Untargeted metabolomics of disease-associated intestinal microbiota can detect quantitative changes in metabolite profiles and complement other methodologies to reveal the full effect of intestinal dysbiosis. Here, we used the T cell transfer mouse model of colitis to identify small-molecule metabolites with altered abundance due to intestinal inflammation. We applied untargeted metabolomics to detect metabolite signatures in cecal, colonic, and fecal samples from healthy and colitic mice and to uncover differences that would aid in the identification of colitis-associated metabolic processes. We provided an unbiased spatial survey of the GI tract for small molecules, and we identified the likely source of metabolites and biotransformations. Several prioritized metabolites that we detected as being altered in colitis were evaluated for their ability to induce inflammatory signaling in cultured macrophages, such as NF-κB signaling and the expression of cytokines and chemokines upon LPS stimulation. Multiple previously uncharacterized anti-inflammatory and inflammation-augmenting metabolites were thus identified, with phytosphingosine showing the most effective anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. We further demonstrated that oral administration of phytosphingosine decreased inflammation in a mouse model of colitis induced by the compound TNBS. The collection of distinct metabolites we identified and characterized, many of which have not been previously associated with colitis, may offer new biological insight into IBD-associated inflammation and disease pathogenesis.
