Characterizing the influence of gut microbiota on host tryptophan metabolism with germ-free pigs.

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.
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
Intestinal microbes are closely associated with host health, depending on metabolic crosstalk between the microbiota and host. Tryptophan metabolism is one of the best examples of metabolic crosstalk between intestinal microbiota and host; however, our understanding about the influence of intestinal microbiota on host tryptophan metabolism is limited. Thus, we established germ-free (GF) pig models to systemically explore the influence of intestinal microbiota on tryptophan metabolism. Five GF pigs were kept in GF conditions throughout the experiment (GF group). Six GF pigs were transplanted with fecal microbiota from donor sows to act as control pigs. Compared with control pigs, the GF pigs had remarkable alterations in tryptophan metabolism. The differential metabolites (
