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

Microbial communities perform emergent activities that are essentially different from those carried by their individual members. The gut microbiome and its metabolites have a significant impact on the host, contributing to homeostasis or disease. Food molecules shape this community, being fermented through cross-feeding interactions of metabolites such as lactate, acetate, and amino acids, or products derived from macromolecule degradation. Mathematical and experimental approaches have been applied to understand and predict the interactions between microorganisms in complex communities such as the gut microbiota. Rational and mechanistic understanding of microbial interactions is essential to exploit their metabolic activities and identify keystone taxa and metabolites. The latter could be used in turn to modulate or replicate the metabolic behavior of the community in different contexts. This review aims to highlight recent experimental and modeling approaches for studying cross-feeding interactions within the gut microbiome. We focus on short-chain fatty acid production and fiber fermentation, which are fundamental processes in human health and disease. Special attention is paid to modeling approaches, particularly kinetic and genome-scale stoichiometric models of metabolism, to integrate experimental data under different diet and health conditions. Finally, we discuss limitations and challenges for the broad application of these modeling approaches and their experimental verification for improving our understanding of the mechanisms of microbial interactions.
