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

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) comprise the largest group of gut microbial fermentation products. While absorption of most nutrients occurs in the small intestine, indigestible dietary components, such as fiber, reach the colon and are processed by the gut microbiome to produce a wide array of metabolites that influence host physiology. Numerous studies have implicated SCFAs as key modulators of host health, such as in regulating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, robust methods are still required for their detection and quantitation to meet the demands of biological studies probing the complex interplay of the gut-host-health paradigm. In this study, a sensitive, rapid-throughput, and readily expandible UHPLC-QqQ-MS platform using 2-PA derivatization was developed for the quantitation of gut-microbially derived SCFAs, related metabolites, and isotopically labeled homologues. The utility of this platform was then demonstrated by investigating the production of SCFAs in cecal contents from mice feeding studies, human fecal bioreactors, and fecal/bacterial fermentations of isotopically labeled dietary carbohydrates. Overall, the workflow proposed in this study serves as an invaluable tool for the rapidly expanding gut-microbiome and precision nutrition research field.
