Irradiation-Induced Dysbiosis: The Compounding Effect of High-Fat Diet on Metabolic and Immune Functions in Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The negative impact of irradiation or diet on the metabolic and immune profiles of cancer survivors have been previously demonstrated. The gut microbiota plays a critical role in regulating these functions and is highly sensitive to cancer therapies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of irradiation and diet on the gut microbiota and metabolic or immune functions. We exposed C57Bl/6J mice to a single dose of 6 Gy radiation and after 5 weeks, fed them a chow or high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks. We characterised their faecal microbiota, metabolic (whole body and adipose tissue) functions, and systemic (multiplex cytokine, chemokine assay, and immune cell profiling) and adipose tissue inflammatory profiles (immune cell profiling). At the end of the study, we observed a compounding effect of irradiation and diet on the metabolic and immune profiles of adipose tissue, with exposed mice fed a HFD displaying a greater inflammatory signature and impaired metabolism. Mice fed a HFD also showed altered microbiota, irrespective of irradiation status. An altered diet may exacerbate the detrimental effects of irradiation on both the metabolic and inflammatory profiles. This could have implications for the diagnosis and prevention of metabolic complications in cancer survivors exposed to radiation.
