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

Gut microbiota-derived trimethylamine (TMA) is associated with cardiometabolic disorders and exemplifies a microbial involvement in the etiology of emerging, noncommunicable diseases, the leading causes of death worldwide. Three biochemical pathways taking dietary compounds as intake have been described with distinct taxa involved that are all present at low relative abundances. A recently discovered pathway is now considered to be the main route for TMA synthesis from l-carnitine involving γ-butyrobetaine as an intermediate product. By comprehensive (meta) genomic screening of publicly available data, namely, genomes of the UHGG catalog (
