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

Understanding how a sleeve gastrectomy (SG) achieves metabolic improvement is challenging due to the complex relationship between the liver, bile acid (BA) pool, and gut microbiome. We hypothesized that SG alters the gut microbiome, which then increases the BA pool, leading to metabolic efficacy. We performed fecal material transfer (FMT) from SG or sham mice to surgically naïve mice with an intact microbiome. We evaluated the effect of surgery and FMT on BA-related liver enzymes, BA concentrations, and gut microbiome composition via 16S and metagenomic analysis. SG significantly deflected weight gain compared with sham surgery, 5 ± 2 g versus 10 ± 3 g, respectively (
