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

aimTo investigate the material basis and mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect of DLC in T2DM.

methodsT2DM was triggered in rats using a high-sugar, high-fat diet alongside 35 mg/kg streptozotocin. The effect of DLC on the intestinal microbiota in T2DM rats was analyzed

resultsDLC significantly attenuated pathological weight loss, reduced fasting blood glucose levels, restored blood sugar homeostasis, and ameliorated dyslipidemia in T2DM rats. The 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that DLC enhanced microbial diversity and reversed intestinal dysbiosis. Targeted metabolomics indicated decreased acetic acid and propionic acid levels and increased butyric acid, isobutyric acid, and 2-methylbutyric acid levels after DLC treatment. Untargeted metabolomics revealed 57 metabolites with altered expression associated with amino acid, carbohydrate, purine, and biotin pathways. The Spearman analysis demonstrated significant links between specific gut microbiota taxa and fecal metabolites.

conclusionDLC may exert hypoglycemic effects by modulating intestinal flora genera, SCFA levels, and fecal metabolites.
