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: This study investigated the ameliorative effects of combined 1-DNJ and TFs on IR in mice through gut microbiota modulation. Methods: An HFD-induced IR model was established in male mice, which were subsequently divided into Control, Model, 1-DNJ (200 mg/kg·bw/day), TFs (100 mg/kg·bw/day), and 1-DNJ + TFs (200 + 100 mg/kg·bw/day) groups for daily oral administration over 11 consecutive weeks. The ameliorative effects were evaluated by examining biochemical parameters in serum and histopathological changes in the liver pancreatic and colon. Mechanistic insights were elucidated through 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples and untargeted metabolomics analysis of intestinal contents. Results: Interventions with 1-DNJ, TFs, or thecombination effectively reduced blood glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity. The combined treatment demonstrated superior efficacy, decreasing circulating levels of LPS, IL-6, and TNF-α, alleviating hepatic lipid accumulation, and reducing colon tissue barrier damage. Furthermore, the combined intervention profoundly modulated the gut microbiota, characterized by an increased abundance of beneficial bacteria (e.g., Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Alloprevotella) and a reduction in harmful genera (e.g., Roseburia, Intestinimonas). These microbial shifts were concomitantly associated with significant alterations in intestinal metabolic pathways, including sphingolipid metabolism, necroptosis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronic acid interconversion, and tyrosine metabolism. Conclusion: The combined administration of 1-DNJ and TFs demonstrated superior efficacy in ameliorating HFD-induced IR compared to individual components, with gut microbiota modulation playing a pivotal role. These findings position 1-DNJ and TFs as promising natural candidates for functional food development targeting metabolic health.
