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

Objective: Moxifloxacin (MFLX) frequently induces dysglycemia when used in the treatment of infectious diseases, particularly in patients with diabetes. However, the mechanism through which MFLX affects host glucose metabolism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism underlying MFLX-induced hyperglycemia. Methods: In this study, we investigated the short-term (3 days) and long-term (14 days) effects of MFLX on glucose metabolism in normal and type 2 diabetic GK rats. After oral administration of 40 mg/kg of MFLX, blood glucose, insulin, GLP-1, and fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) levels in the blood of rats, as well as bile acids in both blood and feces, and gut microbiota, were examined. Liver and ileum tissues were promptly harvested for detecting the expression of hepatic 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and intestinal Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR). In addition, we explored the effect of secondary bile acids (SBAs) on GLP-1 secretion in NCI-H716 cells, and observed the direct effect of MFLX on the expression of CYP7A1 in HepG2 cells and TGR5, FXR in NCI-H716 cells. Results: It was demonstrated that MFLX induced hyperglycemia in diabetic rats, with a more pronounced reduction in serum insulin, GLP-1, and FGF15 levels than observed in normal rats. Gut microbiota associated with SBAs metabolism were significantly reduced, leading to decreased intestinal deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA). Conclusion: Our studies showed MFLX more likely to cause hyperglycemia when used in diabetic states and highlighted the critical role of gut microbiota-SBAs-TGR5/FXR pathway in MFLX-induced hyperglycemia.
