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 metabolites produced by gut microbes play a significant role in host health. Due to their different chemical structures, they are often analyzed using multiple analyzers and methods, such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for SCFAs and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for bile acids (BAs), amino acids (AAs), and sugars. In this study, we aimed to develop a specialized method for the simultaneous determination of important intestinal metabolites, specifically addressing the main issue of SCFA volatilization during the dry solidification process. We discovered that these compounds can all be measured in fecal samples by GC/MS after trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization despite the expected volatility of SCFAs. Validating the results using SCFA standards suggested that the fecal matrix exerts a stabilizing effect. This method enabled the simultaneous quantification of 65 metabolites. For further validation in a biological context, a mouse study showed that high-MAC and high-fat diets increased SCFAs and BAs in feces, respectively, and showed a negative correlation between
