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

Given the antibacterial effects of ε-polylysine acting on cell membranes, and that glycerol phospholipids are important components of the cell membrane, we hypothesized that ε-polylysine may regulate glycerophospholipid metabolism by modifying the gut microbiota. To test this hypothesis, we treated post-weaning C57 mice with different levels of ε-polylysine (0, 300, 600, and 1,200 ppm) in their basic diet. The growth performance and morphology of intestine were then determined. Modification of the gut microbiota and their function were analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing. Metabolite identification was performed using the LC-MS method. The results showed that body weight decreased with an increasing supplemental level of ε-polylysine from 5 to 7 weeks (
