Metagenomics analysis of mice gut microbiome to unravel the role of metal exposure and piperine.
Article in Access microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The gut and intestinal microbiota consists of trillions of microorganisms inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract. It plays a crucial role in human health leading to understanding the dynamic crosstalk of host-microbe interaction in the gut and has become necessary for the detection, prevention, or therapy of diseases. Gut microbiota deviations are linked with many diseases, suggesting that various pathways involved in immunity, energy, lipid, and glucose metabolism are affected. Further, it is also altered by external insults such as metal toxicity, antibiotics and pesticides. Heavy metals like arsenic, mercury, cadmium and chromium are some of the well-studied classes of environmental pollutants. Mouse models have become the model of choice for most studies in this emerging field, as they allow perturbations in the gut microbiota to be studied in a controlled experimental setup. Here, we investigate the composition and diversity of intestinal microbes utilizing cecal samples from different intervention groups: arsenic exposure (As(III)), arsenic and piperine co-administration (As +Pp), piperine per se and control group. We obtained DNA samples from these groups and performed PCR amplification and sequencing of the 16S V3-V4 region. The findings showed shift in microbial composition and abundance among different intervention groups, revealing taxa that may contribute to the microbial diversity.
