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

"Classical eutrophication" occurs when raw unfixed nutrients enter an aquatic environment. This causes the deleterious proliferation in fauna most adept at exploiting this abundance of nutrition. The net effect is de-diversification. We propose an analogous process in the gut: "gut eutrophication". Evidence shows that consumption of processed food, high in unfixed disaccharides, causes an expansion of bacteria in the gut habitat with a metabolic proclivity for these nutrients. This is at the expense of microbiota with a predilection for complex macromolecule macronutrients. There is a loss of diversity and the effect is exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle. Gut luminal low oxygen tension favors salubrious gut commensals. This effect is potentiated by exercise but thwarted by inactivity. Antibiotics cause an obvious gut dysbiosis. So too can diet in a more insidious manner. The transition in microbial composition, seen in "gut eutrophication", may be an aetiological component of metabolic disease-associated gut dysbiosis.
