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

The human gut microbiome is associated with a wide range of diseases; yet, the mechanisms these microbes use to influence human health are not fully understood. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are increasingly identified as a potential mechanism by which gut microbiota influence their human hosts. Similar to some PPIs observed in pathogens, many disease-relevant human-gut bacterial PPIs function by interacting with components of the immune system or the gut barrier. Here, we highlight recent advances in these two areas. It is our opinion that there is a vastly unexplored network of human-gut bacterial PPIs that contribute to the prevention or pathogenesis of various diseases and that future research is warranted to expand PPI discovery.
