Circadian rhythm perturbation causes IBS-like characteristics and altered fecal metabolome in mice.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCircadian rhythm disturbance is associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study aimed to explore the effects of dysregulated circadian rhythm on visceral sensitivity, colonic permeability, gut microbial composition, and metabolism in mice.
methodsA murine model of circadian rhythm disturbance was built by performing a 6-hour phase delay. Visceral sensitivity was assessed using the abdominal withdrawal reflex score through colorectal distention. Colonic permeability was determined by measuring transepithelial resistance (TEER) and the permeability of fluorescent dextran 4 kDa. To gain insight into gut microbial composition and metabolism, 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were conducted, respectively.
resultsCircadian rhythm disturbance led to IBS-like characteristics in mice, including visceral hypersensitivity and colonic hyperpermeability. Disrupted circadian rhythm also resulted in a decrease in intestinal microbial diversity and alterations in microbial structure. Several microbial genera were influenced by circadian rhythm disturbance, such as Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Desulfovibrio, Dubosiella, and Erysipelatoclostridium. Moreover, disrupted circadian rhythm altered metabolic profiles of gut microbiota and affected the levels of various metabolites, including 1-methylhistamine, nitrosylhaem, 3-aminocaproic acid, boviquinone, and carboplatin. Finally, circadian rhythm disturbance altered the relationship between microbial genera and metabolites.
conclusionCircadian rhythm disturbance contributes to visceral hypersensitivity and colonic hyperpermeability, while also altering the composition and metabolism of gut microbiota.
