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

Background: As the global prevalence of diabetes mellitus reaches epidemic proportions, research into new therapeutic targets that address the underlying pathomechanisms of the disease is essential. Recent studies have elucidated the fundamental role of intestinal metabolic pathways in human health and disease processes and yet, the underlying cause of metabolic dysregulation in diabetes is largely unknown. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to identify the intestinal metabolomic profiles associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetes mellitus, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A systematic review of databases and grey literature repositories identified primary literature published between 2005 and 2022, that investigated patterns of human- and microbial-derived metabolite concentration in individuals with diabetes. Results: Data extracted from thirty-four eligible studies revealed 272 metabolites that were associated with diabetes diseases; the majority correlated with incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus only. Inter-study discrepancies were reported based on the biospecimen type used in metabolomic analyses, namely blood, stool, or urine. Conclusion: The results of this review emphasise the paucity of research investigating gestational and type 1 diabetes mellitus intestinal metabolic perturbations. Furthermore, the potential for inter-study bias in downstream metabolomic analyses based on sample type warrants further investigation.
