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

Obesity affects over one billion people globally; however, the role of the gut microbiome and host genetics in its manifestation is poorly understood. We demonstrate that genetic obesity in leptin-receptor-deficient db/db mice requires a permissive gut microbiome, which is established during early life. Using perinatally-administered antibiotic cocktail treatment until pups were 8-weeks-old, we demonstrate that microbiome perturbation substantially reduces weight gain and significantly reduces hyperglycemia in homozygous, leptin-receptor-deficient db/db (Hom) mice without altering caloric intake or extraction efficiency. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that antibiotic treatment depletes
