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

Intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) is a key barrier limiting xenobiotic absorption, yet its functional decline with aging is poorly understood. Here, we show that gut microbiota dysbiosis contributes to age-associated P-gp deficiency. Integrated multi-omics analyses of human cohorts and murine models identify Odoribacter splanchnicus (O. splanchnicus) as a key commensal species whose depletion impairs intestinal P-gp function. Mechanistically, O. splanchnicus encodes GDP-mannose 4, 6-dehydratase (GMDS) and GDP-L-fucose synthase (TSTA3), enabling microbial biosynthesis of GDP-L-fucose. This metabolite directly promotes phosphorylation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and activates c-Jun-driven ABCB1 expression, thereby restoring xenobiotic efflux. These findings establish a microbiota-metabolite-transporter signaling axis that maintains intestinal detoxification, suggesting that targeting either microbes or metabolites could help prevent adverse drug reactions in older adults.
