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

Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that high-fat diet (HFD) is a controllable risk factor for osteoporosis, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. As a primary biological barrier for nutrient entry into the human body, the composition and function of gut microbiota (GM) can be altered rapidly by HFD, which may trigger abnormal bone metabolism. In the current study, we analyzed the signatures of GM and serum metabolomics in HFD-induced bone loss and explored the potential correlations of GM and serum metabolites on HFD-related bone loss. Methods: We conducted a mouse model with HFD-induced bone loss through a 12-week diet intervention. Micro-CT, Osmium-μCT, and histological analyses were used to observe bone microstructure and bone marrow adipose tissue. Quantitative Real-Time PCR was applied to analyze gene expression related to osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the biochemical markers of bone turnover. 16s rDNA sequencing was employed to analyze the abundance of GM, and UHPLC-MS/MS was used to identify serum metabolites. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships among bone phenotypes, GM, and the metabolome. Results: HFD induced bone loss accompanied by bone marrow adipose tissue expansion and bone formation inhibition. In the HFD group, the relative abundance of Conclusions: These findings indicated that the alternations of GM and serum metabolites were related to HFD-induced bone loss, which might provide new insights into explain the occurrence and development of HFD-related osteoporosis. The regulatory effects of GM and metabolites associated with HFD on bone homeostasis required further exploration.
