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

As a well-known metalloid, arsenic usually causes human intestinal disorders via contaminated drinking water. However, the mechanisms underlying how arsenic induces intestinal injury remain unresolved, and the effective means of intervention are very limited. By establishing an acute arsenic exposure animal model, this work shows that arsenic disrupts the mechanical, chemical, immunological, and biological barriers of the intestine, and thereby changes the microenvironment in the gut. We further verify that the administration of fecal microbiota transplantation with a healthy gut microbiome alleviates the intestinal damage induced by arsenic. Intriguingly, by using 16S rRNA sequencing and anaerobic culture, we identify a novel role of gut-derived strain, Roseburia intestinalis, which exhibits significant protection against arsenic-induced intestinal toxicity in mice. By applying non-targeted metabolomics after arsenic exposure, this work further establishes the beneficial effects and the potential metabolites associated with Roseburia intestinalis, including cacodylic acid, carindone, 3-hydroxymelatonin and L-galacto-2-heptulose, etc. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that the protective effects of Roseburia intestinalis against arsenic-induced intestinal injury include mainly immune-related pathways. Taken together, these findings highlight that supplementation with gut-derived Roseburia intestinalis is an alternative strategy that could be used in the prevention and treatment of arsenic-related intestinal disorders.
