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

The microbiota composition is known to influence the kinetics of graft rejection, but many questions remain as to whether/how microbiota-derived metabolites affect graft outcome. We investigated the effects of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, a product of dietary fiber fermentation. Sustained intragastric administration of a micelle-based formulation of butyrate (butyrate micelle [ButM]) that releases its cargo in the lower gastrointestinal tract elevated cecal butyrate content and significantly prolonged minor-mismatched and major-mismatched skin allograft survival in mice. While ButM did not influence regulatory T cells or the adaptive alloimmune responses we tested, it modulated the myeloid cell compartment. At steady state, ButM treatment reduced the number of circulating Ly6C
