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

backgroundA high-fat diet (HFD) can cause systemic low-grade inflammation, metabolic and inflammatory diseases, and alter the composition of intestinal microbiota. Although probiotics mitigate intestinal inflammation, it is still unclear whether they can directly inhibit the production of deoxycholic acid (DCA) to prevent or alleviate intestinal inflammation.

aimTo investigate changes in intestinal flora, fecal DCA levels, and cytokine profiles.

methodsVancomycin was administered to significantly reduce the population of intestinal gram-positive bacteria, which helped in reducing the fecal DCA levels. Recruitment of pro-inflammatory macrophages, polarization of macrophages, and the inflammation associated with the intestinal flora of the HFD animal model were assessed. Their expression levels were analyzed through real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence staining, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing.

resultsHFD or DCA promotes the infiltration of colon macrophages, causing their polarization toward the M1 phenotype. This polarization can be inhibited by both vancomycin and
