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

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an important risk factor for brain cognitive impairment, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. The imbalance of gut microbiota under pathological conditions (such as an increase in pathogenic bacteria) may be involved in the occurrence of various diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of increased abundance of gut Citrobacter rodentium on cognitive function in T2D mice. Our results indicate that an increase in the abundance of Citrobacter rodentium leads to impaired intestinal barrier, elevated expression of inflammatory factors in blood and brain tissue, and promotes cognitive impairment in T2D mice. The specific pathway involves activation of farnesol X receptor (FXR) expression-mediated intestinal barrier dysfunction. The use of intestinal mucosal protectants and FXR inhibitors improved intestinal barrier function and brain cognitive function. Therefore, the research results provide a mechanistic link between the increased abundance of Citrobacter in the gut of T2D mice and brain cognitive function, and provide a reference for the occurrence of brain cognitive dysfunction in T2D.
