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

backgroundShort-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), produced by the gut microbiota, are thought to exert an anti-inflammatory effect on the host immune system. The levels of SCFAs and abundance of the microbiota that produce them are depleted in multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The mechanisms leading to this depletion are unknown. Using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as a model for MS, we have previously shown that gut microbiomes divergent in their abundance of specific commensal

resultsWe show that stable colonization by CONCLUSTIONS: Our data highlight a potential mechanism for reduced SCFAs and their producers in MS through depletion by other members of the gut microbiome, demonstrating that interactions between microbiota can impact CNS autoimmunity in a diet-dependent manner. These data suggest that therapeutic restoration of SCFA levels in MS may require not only dietary intervention, but also modulation of the gut microbiome.
