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.

Abstract

Background: Microbiota unbalance has been proven to affect chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and, noteworthy, microbiota composition and activity are implicated in CKD worsening. The progression of kidney failure implies an exceeding accumulation of waste compounds deriving from the nitrogenous metabolism in the intestinal milieu. Therefore, in the presence of an altered intestinal permeability, gut-derived uremic toxins, i.e., indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), can accumulate in the blood. Methods: In a scenario facing the nutritional management as adjuvant therapy, the present study assessed the effectiveness of an innovative synbiotics for its ability to modulate the patient gut microbiota and metabolome by setting a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial accounting for IIIb-IV stage CKD patients and healthy controls. Metataxonomic fecal microbiota and fecal volatilome were analyzed at the run-in, after 2 months of treatment, and after 1 month of wash out. Results: Significant changes in microbiota profile, as well as an increase of the saccharolytic metabolism, in feces were found for those CKD patients that were allocated in the synbiotics arm. Conclusions: Noteworthy, the here analyzed data emphasized a selective efficacy of the present synbiotics on a stage IIIb-IV CKD patients. Nonetheless, a further validation of this trial accounting for an increased patient number should be considered. Clinical trial registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier NCT03815786.
