Chronic Strongyloides stercoralis infection increases presence of the Ruminococcus torques group in the gut and alters the microbial proteome.

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
We explored the impact of chronic Strongyloides stercoralis infection on the gut microbiome and microbial activity in a longitudinal study. At baseline (time-point T0), 42 fecal samples from matched individuals (21 positive for strongyloidiasis and 21 negative) were subjected to microbiome 16S-rRNA sequencing. Those positive at T0 (untreated then because of COVID19 lockdowns) were retested one year later (T1). Persistent infection in these individuals indicated chronic strongyloidiasis: they were treated with ivermectin and retested four months later (T2). Fecal samples at T1 and T2 were subjected to 16S-rRNA sequencing and LC-MS/MS to determine microbial diversity and proteomes. No significant alteration of indices of gut microbial diversity was found in chronic strongyloidiasis. However, the Ruminococcus torques group was highly over-represented in chronic infection. Metaproteome data revealed enrichment of Ruminococcus torques mucin-degrader enzymes in infection, possibly influencing the ability of the host to expel parasites. Metaproteomics indicated an increase in carbohydrate metabolism and Bacteroidaceae accounted for this change in chronic infection. STITCH interaction networks explored highly expressed microbial proteins before treatment and short-chain fatty acids involved in the synthesis of acetate. In conclusion, our data indicate that chronic S. stercoralis infection increases Ruminococcus torques group and alters the microbial proteome.
