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 intestinal mucosa is a dynamic surface that facilitates interactions between the host and an outside world that includes trillions of microbes, collectively termed the microbiota. This fine balance is regulated by an energetically demanding physical and biochemical barrier that is formed by the intestinal epithelial cells. In addition, this homeostasis exists at an interface between the anaerobic colonic lumen and a highly oxygenated, vascularized lamina propria. The resultant oxygen gradient within the intestine establishes "physiologic hypoxia" as a central metabolic feature of the mucosa. Although oxygen is vital for energy production to meet cellular metabolism needs, the availability of oxygen has far-reaching influences beyond just energy provision. Recent studies have shown that the intestinal mucosa has purposefully adapted to use differential oxygen levels largely through the presence of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate (BA). Intestinal epithelial cells use butyrate for a multitude of functions that promote mucosal homeostasis. In this review, we explore how the physiologic hypoxia profile interfaces with SCFAs to benefit host mucosal tissues.
