Role of Increasing Body Mass Index in Gut Barrier Dysfunction, Systemic Inflammation, and Metabolic Dysregulation in Obesity.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
aimsThis study explores the link between body mass index (BMI), intestinal permeability, and associated changes in anthropometric and impedance parameters, lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, fecal metabolites, and gut microbiota taxa composition in participants having excessive body mass.
methodsA cohort of 58 obese individuals with comparable diet, age, and height was divided into three groups based on a priori clustering analyses that fit with BMI class ranges: Group I (25-29.9), Group II (30-39.9), and Group III (>40). Anthropometric and clinical parameters were assessed, including plasma C-reactive protein and cytokine profiles as inflammation markers. Intestinal permeability was measured using a multisaccharide assay, with fecal/serum zonulin and serum claudin-5 and claudin-15 levels. Fecal microbiota composition and metabolomic profiles were analyzed using a phylogenetic microarray and GC-MS techniques.
resultsThe statistical analyses of the clinical parameters were based on the full sample set, whereas a subset composed of 37 randomized patients was inspected for the GC/MS metabolite profiling of fecal specimens. An increase in potentially pro-inflammatory bacterial genera (e.g.,
conclusionsTogether, these data demonstrated how an increased BMI led to significant changes in inflammatory markers, intestinal barrier metabolites, glucose metabolism, endocrine indicators, and fecal metabolomic profiles that can indicate a different metabolite production from gut microbiota. Our findings suggest that targeting intestinal permeability may offer a therapeutic approach to prevent and manage obesity and related metabolic complications, reinforcing the link between gut barrier function and obesity.
