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

Systemic inflammation relates to the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases such as obesity or type 2 diabetes. Understanding aberrant microbiota-host interactions is essential for comprehending their pathogenesis. Gut bacteria produce bacterial membrane vesicles (bMVs) reflecting bacterial metabolism and activity. Importantly, in animal models, these vesicles can reach organs and affect metabolism by inducing inflammation. We investigated feces-derived gut bacteria and bMVs in participants diagnosed with prediabetes and in healthy controls. Vesicle and bacterial DNA repertoires were found to be vastly different, with Gram-negative bacterial taxa dominating at the vesicle level (
