Role of intestinal SCFAs homeostasis in the hepatoprotective effect of Clostridium butyricum in T2DM.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Probiotic supplementation was a novel therapeutic approach for treating metabolic related diseases via "gut-liver" axis. However, the effect of Clostridium butyricum (CB) supplementation on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-associated steatohepatitis was unknown. This study revealed that CB alleviated liver damage and hepatitis in 18 weeks-old db/db mice. Targeted metabolomics analysis showed that the dysregulated short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) metabolism homeostasis was regained by CB in the colon content of db/db mice, especially butyric acid. Treatment with sodium butyrate (NaB) significantly attenuated steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis of db/db mice, and high glucose (HG) and free fatty acid (FFA) co-treated HepG2 cells. In-depth mechanism research suggested that the hepatoprotective effects of CB on T2DM was associated with the suppression of IκB-α/β-arrestin2/NF-κB signaling pathway via intestinal butyrate-medicated hepatic Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5). Overall, our results demonstrated a potential novel mechanism for CB as effective nutritional intervention for T2DM-related steatohepatitis via "gut-liver" axis.
