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

Mammalian organs continuously produce and consume circulating metabolites for organismal health and survival. However, the landscape of this fundamental process and its perturbation by diet and disease is unknown. Using arteriovenous metabolomics, tissue transcriptomics, and hormone arrays in multiple pathophysiological conditions in pigs, we generated an atlas of 10 cross-organ metabolite production and consumption during fasting/feeding, Western diet, and cardiovascular disease progression induced by low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) deficiency. We discovered numerous instances of feeding-dependent and -independent metabolite production and consumption by organs and proposed mechanisms by which these are disrupted by Western diet via altered metabolite concentration gradients and hormones. Both Western diet and LDLR deficiency trigger the release of bile acids (BAs) by extra-hepatic organs, likely contributing to abnormally elevated circulating BA levels and consequent vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis development. These resources reveal intricate inter-organ metabolic crosstalk across pathophysiological conditions, offering biochemical insights into diet effects and cardiometabolic diseases.
