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: The contribution of circulating group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) to lipid dysregulation has remained poorly defined, and the mechanisms through which washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) improves lipid metabolism require further clarification. Methods: Peripheral ILC subsets and plasma IL-22 were assessed in hyperlipidemia patients and healthy controls. The lipid-lowering effects of WMT were evaluated in a prospective cohort without lipid-lowering medications. Gut microbial and plasma metabolite profiles before and after WMT were analyzed. A hyperlipidemic mouse model was used to determine whether healthy microbiota promote hepatic ILC3 homing via integrin α4. Results: Hyperlipidemia was characterized by reduced circulating ILC3s, integrin α4 Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia is associated with depletion of circulating ILC3s and reduced IL-22. Restoration of ILC3 subsets and enhancement of integrin α4-dependent hepatic homing are achieved after WMT, accompanying improvements in lipid metabolism.
