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

Osteopontin, which is a highly phosphorylated and glycosylated acidic secreted protein encoded by the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1) gene, plays a crucial role in immune regulation, inflammatory responses, and cell adhesion. However, its impact on intestinal gene expression and gut microbiota remains underexplored. In this study, we developed an Spp1 conditional knockout mouse model to investigate alterations in the intestinal transcriptome and microbiome, with particular emphasis on changes in gene expression and predicted metabolic pathways. Our findings demonstrated that Spp1 gene conditional knockout significantly modified the expression of genes involved in immune regulation and lipid metabolism. Moreover, metagenomic analysis revealed marked shifts in gut microbial diversity and predicted the metabolic pathways associated with digestion, absorption, and lipid metabolism. These results suggest that Spp1 is instrumental in maintaining gut microbial equilibrium and in regulating host lipid metabolism and immune responses. This study offers new insights into the role of Spp1 in host-microbiota interactions and the potential foundations for developing related therapeutic strategies.
