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

Background: Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is a harmful metabolite dependent on the intestinal microbiota and excreted through the kidneys. According to numerous investigations, rich circulation concentrations of TMAO have been linked to kidney and gastrointestinal disorders. Through the "gut-kidney axis" mediated by TMAO, this research attempted to clarify the microbiological causes of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome diarrhea. Methods: Adenine and Results: TMAO showed a positive correlation with NLRP3, IL-1β and TGF-β1, all of which exhibited substantial increases ( Conclusion: This study establishes a link between intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and elevated TMAO concentrations. TMAO can activate inflammatory responses and cytokines, contributing to kidney-yang deficiency syndrome diarrhea via the "gut-kidney axis". Moreover, TMAO may coincide with disruptions in the intestinal barrier and renal fibrosis. Dysfunction of the "gut-kidney axis" further elevates TMAO levels, perpetuating a vicious cycle.
