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

This study investigated the effect of high-fiber-low-protein (HF) and high-protein-low-fiber (HP) diets on microbial catabolism of tryptophan in the proximal colon (PC) and distal colon(DC) compartments of the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem. The microbiota in PC and DC was dominated by Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, in which Bacteroidetes were more abundant in DC (∼60% versus 50%) and Firmicutes were more abundant in PC (∼40% versus 25%). Most of the tryptophan catabolites were determined at a higher concentration in PC samples than in DC samples, but the overall concentration of tryptophan catabolites was over 10-fold higher in DC samples than that in PC samples. Interestingly, indole-3-propionic acid and oxindole were only identified in DC samples. A two-week dietary intervention by the HF diet enriched the abundance of Firmicutes in PC, whereas the HP diet enriched the abundance of Proteobacteria. Compared to the HP diet, the HF diet favored the microbial production of indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-lactic acid, indole-3-aldehyde, and indole-3-propionic acid in both PC and DC compartments. To conclude, these findings increase the understanding of the effect of diets on the microbial production of tryptophan catabolites in the colon.
