Colonic phosphocholine is correlated with Candida tropicalis and promotes diarrhea and pathogen clearance.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Diarrhea is characterized by alterations in the gut microbiota, metabolites, and host response to these changes. Studies have focused on the role of commensal bacteria in diarrhea; however, the effect of fungi on its pathogenesis remains unexplored. Here, using post-weaned piglets with or without diarrhea, we found an unexpected decrease in the abundance of Candida tropicalis in diarrheal piglets. We also observed increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the colonic tissues of diarrheal piglets. Using dectin-1-knockout mice, we found that the over-accumulation of ROS killed C. tropicalis by promoting NET formation, which was dependent on dectin-1. The decreased abundance of C. tropicalis resulted in reduced phosphocholine consumption. Then, colonic phosphocholine accumulation drives water efflux by increasing cAMP levels by activating adenylyl cyclase, which promotes the clearance of pathogenic bacteria. Collectively, we demonstrated that phosphocholine is correlated with colonic C. tropicalis and promotes diarrhea and pathogen clearance. Our results suggest that mycobiota colonizing the colon might be involved in maintaining intestinal metabolic homeostasis through the consumption of certain metabolites.
