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

This study aimed to analyze the dynamic changes in gut microbiota during high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice, investigate the transmissibility of obesity-associated inflammation via fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and identify key bacterial genera linked to inflammation. In experiment 1, 8 control group mice and 12 obese group mice were fed a normal diet (ND) and a HFD, respectively, and fecal samples were collected from six mice in each group at weeks 4, 8, and 12. The results showed that long-term HFD (12 weeks) significantly reduced the diversity and richness of the gut microbiota (p < 0.05). HFD significantly affected the composition of the gut microbiota during the experimental period, with an increase in the relative abundance of harmful bacteria genera such as Escherichia-Shigella and Proteus (p < 0.05). In experiment 2, the transmissibility of obesity-associated inflammation was validated through a fecal FMT experiment. The results indicated that the intestinal microbiota of obese mice increased the inflammation level of recipient mice (p < 0.05), and the composition of the intestinal microbiota in the obese recipient group was significantly affected by that in the obese donor group. Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed that the relative abundances of Proteus and Escherichia-Shigella were positively correlated with the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum and ileal tissue (p < 0.05), suggesting that these two bacterial genera may serve as potential pro-inflammatory biomarkers. This study revealed the dynamic changes in the gut microbiota during HFD-induced obesity, confirmed the critical role of the gut microbiota in the transmission of inflammation, and provided a new theoretical basis for the intervention of obesity-related diseases.
