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

Insufficient dietary fiber intake is associated with dysbiosis and compromised colonization resistance (CR) to enteric infections. However, a detailed understanding of the relationship between dietary fiber insufficiency and CR remains elusive. Our study aimed to delineate the impact of fiber deprivation on gut microbiome and CR in a murine model with Salmonella Typhimurium infection. Our findings indicate that dietary fiber deprivation resulted in impaired CR and depletion of commensal bacteria Muribaculaceae. By combining dietary switch, FMT, and genomic analysis, we identify Muribaculum intestinale as a candidate bacterium, capable of converting succinate into propionate. Oral administration of Muribaculum intestinale augmented CR to Salmonella Typhimurium, accompanied by succinate reduction and propionate elevation. Dietary supplementation of propionate, but not succinate, enhanced CR to Salmonella Typhimurium in mice consuming a fiber-free diet. Taken together, our research identified a crucial metabolic pathway encoded by gut microbiome underlying CR, providing an intervention strategy for combatting enteric infections among Western diet-consuming populations.
