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

The gut microbiome is positioned at the center of a hub that contributes to both the physiology and pathology of multiple distant organs. It does this by releasing beneficial signaling molecules that are synthesized by various microbial species. Beneficial metabolites that cross from the gut lumen into the circulation include the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), a range of tryptophan metabolites (TRPMs), the major polyamines, and certain secondary bile acids. The SCFAs act on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) and on histone deacetylases (HDACs) and, in so doing, suppress inflammation. Tryptophan metabolites act mainly through the nuclear receptor AhR, enhancing gut barrier and blood-brain barrier integrity. The polyamines stabilize nucleic acids and regulate cell proliferation. The secondary bile acids have varied effects on the liver, brain, and lung. In addition, the microbiome contributes to deleterious cometabolites, such as trimethylamine
