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: Dietary interventions play a significant role in preventing and managing cardiometabolic diseases partly through their impact on the gut microbiome and circulating metabolites. Objectives: To assess the impact of an 8-week low-carbohydrate, high-protein (LC/HP) diet on gut microbiome composition, function, and serum metabolome in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Twenty-four adults with chronic SCI were randomized into an LC/HP diet or a control group for 8 weeks. Stool and fasting serum samples were collected at baseline and week 8. The gut microbiome composition and metabolic potential were determined using metagenomic sequencing, while serum metabolome was assessed through untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Statistical analyses focused on diet and time interaction effects, using R (version 4.1.0). Results: A trend for increased alpha diversity (Gini-Simpson, Conclusion: Adopting an LC/HP diet resulted in favorable gut microbiome and metabolome adaptations that may reduce the risk for cardiometabolic disease and colorectal cancer in individuals with SCI.
