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 microbiome is a complex collection of microorganisms with discrete characteristics and activities. Its important role is not restricted to food digestion and metabolism, but extends to the evolution, activation and function of the immune system. Several factors, such as mode of birth, diet, medication, ageing and chronic inflammation, can modify the intestinal microbiota. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) seems to have a direct and unique effect, as increased urea levels result in alteration of the gut microbiome, leading to overproduction of its metabolites. Therefore, potentially noxious microbial uremic toxins, which have predominantly renal clearance, including p-cresyl sulfate, indoxyl sulfate and N-oxide of trimethylamine [Trimethylamine-N-Oxide (TMAO)], accumulate in human's body, and are responsible not only for the clinical implications of CKD, but also for the progression of renal failure itself. Certain changes in gut microbiome are observed in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), either when undergoing hemodialysis or after kidney transplantation. The purpose of this review is to summarize the changes of gut microbiome and the protein bound uremic toxins which are observed in CKD and in different kidney replacement strategies. In addition, we attempt to review the connection between microbiome, clinical implications and immune response in CKD.
