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 plays a key role in metabolic diseases. Gut-microbiota-derived metabolites are found in different dietary sources, including: Carbohydrate (acetate, propionate, butyrate, also known as short-chain fatty acids, as well as succinate); protein (hydrogen sulfide, indole, and phenylacetic acid); and lipids (resveratrol-, ferulic acid-, linoleic acid-, catechin- and berry-derived metabolites). Insulin resistance, which is a global pandemic metabolic disease that progresses to type 2 diabetes mellitus, can be directly targeted by these metabolites. Gut-microbiota-derived metabolites have broad effects locally and in distinct organs, in particular skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver. These metabolites can modulate glucose metabolism, including the increase in glucose uptake and lipid oxidation in skeletal muscle, and decrease in lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis associated with lipid oxidation in the liver through activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase - serine/threonine-protein kinase B and AMP-activated protein kinase. In adipose tissue, gut-microbiota-derived metabolites stimulate adipogenesis and thermogenesis, inhibit lipolysis, and attenuate inflammation. Importantly, an increase in energy expenditure and fat oxidation occurs in the whole body. Therefore, the therapeutic potential of current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches used to treat diabetes mellitus can be tested to target specific metabolites derived from intestinal bacteria, which may ultimately ameliorate the hyperglycemic burden.
