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

Diet is a major determinant of gut microbiome composition, and variation in diet-microbiome interactions may contribute to variation in their health consequences. To mechanistically understand these relationships, here we map interactions between ∼150 small-molecule dietary xenobiotics and the gut microbiome, including the impacts of these compounds on community composition, the metabolic activities of human gut microbes on dietary xenobiotics, and interindividual variation in these traits. Microbial metabolism can toxify and detoxify these compounds, producing emergent interactions that explain community-specific remodeling by dietary xenobiotics. We identify the gene and enzyme responsible for detoxification of one such dietary xenobiotic, resveratrol, and demonstrate that this enzyme contributes to interindividual variation in community remodeling by resveratrol. Together, these results systematically map interactions between dietary xenobiotics and the gut microbiome and connect toxification and detoxification to interpersonal differences in microbiome response to diet.
