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: Accumulating evidence highlights the important role of B vitamins in maintaining the balance of gut microbial ecology and metabolism, however, few studies have focused on changes in B vitamins homeostasis in the gut and their associations with disease. This study aims to investigate the potential interplay between B vitamins, gut microbiota, and obesity. Methods: We conducted an integrated analysis of fecal shotgun metagenomics, fecal metabolome concerning B vitamins and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and obese phenotypes in a cohort of 63 participants, including 31 healthy controls and 32 individuals with obesity. Results: Metabolomic analysis identified significantly lower levels of fecal thiamine in individuals with obesity ( Conclusion: Our study highlights the impairment of microbial thiamine production and its broad associations with gut microbiota dysbiosis and obesity-related phenotypes. Our findings provide a rationale for developing treatments that utilize thiamine to prevent obesity by modulating gut microbiota.
