Microbiota-host crosstalk: the role of short-term dietary restriction in neurological and metabolic dysregulation.

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
Excessive dieting (ED), a common weight-control strategy, often causes neurological and emotional disturbances, yet its gut-brain interaction mechanisms remain unclear. Employing a short-term dietary (SDR) adult male rabbit model, we found that SDR can induced cerebral cortex up-regulation of the immune-related genes (e.g., C1QC, SAA3) enriched in NF-kappa B signaling pathways, contrasted with down-regulation of sex hormone-related genes (e.g., PRLR, SPA17) implicated in metabolic homeostasis. Furthermore, dysregulated expression of metabolic genes (e.g., PPM1J, GALNT18) in the cecum of the SDR group interacted to impair the immune protection pathways related to intestinal mucosa. Then, SDR significantly increased the cecal Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (from 3.38 to 5.57) and reduced microbial diversity. Specifically, beneficial bacteria involved in tryptophan metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis (e.g., Bacteroidales_bacterium, Alistipes_indistinctus) decreased, whereas bile acid-metabolizing bacteria (e.g., Clostridium_sp._CAG:710, Ruminococcus_sp._Marseille-P6503) linked to increase energy metabolism. The top 20 genes from the brain-gut axis analysis (e.g., ITPR1, CAMK4, CDK5R1) were enriched in critical neural pathways like axon guidance, GABAergic synapse, and long-term potentiation. Notably, key neurodevelopmental genes (e.g., GPR37, GPX3) correlated with these microbial shifts, implicating oxidative stress, synaptic plasticity, and mitochondrial function in microbiota-host crosstalk. This study highlights a "microbial-metabolism-neural" axis in SDR, providing novel targets for future obesity intervention strategies.
