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

Biogenic amines play numerous biological functions that include neuromodulation, maintenance of the gut health and motility, gastric acid secretion, regulation of immune response, cell growth, and gene expression. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the potential modulation of these molecules by the human gut microbiota. A primary pathway for the generation of these molecules involves the decarboxylation of amino acids, a process facilitated by enzymes known as amino acid decarboxylases (AADCs). Here, we conducted a bioinformatic analysis to understand diversity and prevalence of AADCs from the most prevalent members of the human gut microbiome. This study aims to understand how human gut microbes generate metabolites that influence health and disease, through specific enzyme activities. Our results indicate that AADCs are most abundant in the prominent gut microbial genera, namely
