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

Hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD), also known as Wilson's disease (WD), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder regarding copper metabolism. Whether gut microbiota imbalance is involved in developing HLD remains unknown. A comprehensive 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, metagenomic sequencing, and metabonomic analysis were undertaken in patients with WD to analyze the composition and function profiles of gut microbiota in patients with WD. The data demonstrated differences in gut microbiota and metabolic pathways between WD patients and normal individuals, significantly decreasing bacterial richness and diversity. The levels of Selenomonaceae and Megamonas in WD patients are significantly higher than those in healthy individuals. The relative abundances of Roseburia inulinivorans in patients with WD are lower than in healthy individuals. Compared with healthy people, the level of metabolites in patients with WD is abnormal. Leucylproline, 5-Phenylvaleric Acid and N-Desmethylclobazam, which have nutritional and protective effects, are significantly reduced fecal metabolites in patients with WD. D-Gluconic acid, which can chelate metal ions, may be a potential treatment for WD. The positive correlation it demonstrates with Alistipes indistinctus and Prevotella stercora indicates potential bacteria able to treat WD. These metabolites are mainly related to the biosynthesis of antibiotics, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, one carbon pool by folate, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. In conclusion, the data from this study elucidate novel mechanisms describing how abnormal gut miccrobiota contribute to the pathogenesis of WD and outlines new molecules for the treatment of WD.
