Metatranscriptomic analysis reveals gut microbiome bacterial genes in pyruvate and amino acid metabolism associated with hyperuricemia and gout in humans.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Several pathologies with metabolic origin, such as hyperuricemia and gout, have been associated with the gut microbiota taxonomic profile. However, there is no evidence of which bacterial genes are being expressed in the gut microbiome, and of their potential effects on hyperuricemia and gout. We sequenced the RNA of 26 fecal samples from 10 healthy normouricemic controls, 10 with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH), and six gout patients. The coding sequences were mapped to KEGG orthologues (KO). We compared the expression levels using generalized linear models and validated the expression of four KO in a larger sample by qRT-PCR. A distinct genetic expression pattern was identified among groups. AH individuals and gout patients showed an over-expression of KOs mainly related to pyruvate metabolism (Log2foldchange > 23, p-adj ≤ 3.56 × 10
