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

Huangkui capsule (HKC), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used for medication of kidney diseases, including diabetic nephropathy (DN). The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of HKC in the modulation of gut microbiota and the amelioration of metabolite levels by using non-obese diabetes (NOD) mice with DN. The microbiota from three parts of intestines (duodenum, ileum and colon) in NOD mice with and without HKC treatment were analysed using 16S rDNA sequencing techniques. Untargeted metabolomics in plasma of NOD mice were analysed with liquid mass spectrometry. Results showed that HKC administration ameliorated DN in NOD mice and the flora in duodenum were more sensitive to HKC intervention, while the flora in colon had more effects on metabolism. The bacterial genera such as Faecalitalea and Muribaculum significantly increased and negatively correlated with most of the altered metabolites after HKC treatment, while Phyllobacterium, Weissella and Akkermansia showed an opposite trend. The plasma metabolites, mainly including amino acids and fatty acids such as methionine sulfoxide, BCAAs and cis-7-Hexadecenoic acid, exhibited a distinct return to normal after HKC treatment. The current study thereby provides experimental evidence suggesting that HKC may modulate gut microbiota and subsequently ameliorate the metabolite levels in DN.
