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

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe prevalence and adverse outcomes of metabolic dysfunction associated with steatotic liver disease (MAFLD) are increasing. The changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are regarded as an essential part of the progression of MAFLD. This study aimed to identify the gut microbiota and metabolites involved in the development of MAFLD in patients.

methodThis study enrolled 90 patients (healthy controls, HC:

resultsThe abundance of Prevotellaceae at the family level and Prevotella at the genus level was lower in the MASH and NC samples than in the HC samples. Both Prevotellaceae and Prevotella showed the strongest correlation with MASH progression via random forest analysis. Untargeted metabolomics was used to quantitatively screen for discrepant metabolites in the stool samples from the three groups. Linolenic acid (LA)-related metabolite levels were significantly lower in MASH and NC samples. Associations between Prevotella- or LA-related metabolites and liver function were discovered. A high abundance of Prevotella was associated with LA-related metabolites and MASH.

conclusionThis study identified that gut microbiota and metabolites are associated with MASH-related metabolic dysfunction. LA and Prevotella are depleted during MASH progression, and additional supplementation with Prevotella may be a potential strategy for the future treatment of MAFLD.
