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 molecular understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of superspreader hosts is incomplete. In a mouse model of chronic, asymptomatic Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) infection, we performed untargeted metabolomics on the feces of mice and found that superspreader hosts possess distinct metabolic signatures compared with non-superspreaders, including differential levels of L-arabinose. RNA-seq on S. Tm from superspreader fecal samples showed increased expression of the L-arabinose catabolism pathway in vivo. By combining bacterial genetics and diet manipulation, we demonstrate that diet-derived L-arabinose provides S. Tm a competitive advantage in the GI tract, and expansion of S. Tm in the GI tract requires an alpha-N-arabinofuranosidase that liberates L-arabinose from dietary polysaccharides. Ultimately, our work shows that pathogen-liberated L-arabinose from the diet provides a competitive advantage to S. Tm in vivo. These findings propose L-arabinose as a critical driver of S. Tm expansion in the GI tracts of superspreader hosts.
