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

Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are crucial for sensing ingested nutrients and regulating feeding behavior. How gut microbiota regulate the nutrient-sensing EEC activity is unclear. Our transcriptomic analysis demonstrates that commensal microbiota colonization significantly increases the expression of many genes associated with mitochondrial function. Using new methods to image EEC cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+ activity in live zebrafish, our data revealed that it is dynamically regulated during the EEC development process. Mature EECs display an increased mitochondrial-to-cytoplasmic Ca2+ ratio. Mitochondria are evenly distributed in the cytoplasm of immature EECs. As EECs mature, their mitochondria are highly localized at the basal membrane where EEC vesicle secretion occurs. Conventionalized (CV) EECs, but not germ-free (GF) EECs, exhibit spontaneous low-amplitude Ca2+ fluctuation. The mitochondrial-to-cytoplasmic Ca2+ ratio is significantly higher in CV EECs. Nutrient stimulants, such as fatty acid, increase cytoplasmic Ca2+ in a subset of EECs and promote a sustained mitochondrial Ca2+ and ATP increase. However, the nutrient-induced EEC mitochondrial activation is nearly abolished in GF zebrafish. Together, our study reveals that commensal microbiota are crucial in supporting EEC mitochondrial function and maturation.
