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

purposeThe intestinal immune compartment is increasingly recognized as an important player in central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity. We have recently reported that oral administration of the free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2) agonist Cpd1 in the inductive phase of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats ameliorates the disease by stimulating the regulatory immune response in the intestine.

methodHere, the effects of Cpd1 on the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) composition were investigated in the same experimental system. FINDING: Increased levels of the phylum Proteobacteria, the class Gammaproteobacteria, the orders Burkholderiales and Erysipelotrichales, the families Sutterellaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae, and the genera Parasutterella and Faecalibaculum were observed in agonist-treated rats. The genera Allobaculum and Ileibacterium were only detected in the agonist-treated group. The treatment led to changes in the functional profile of the gut microbiota both in the KEGG orthologous pathways and in the clusters of orthologous genes. In addition, an altered profile of intestinal SCFA content was observed in the agonist-treated group.

conclusionThe effects of Cpd1 on the gut microbiota and SCFA composition are relevant to the observed treatment benefit of FFAR2 agonism in the EAE model during the inductive phase of the disease.
