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

Introduction: Microbial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) regulate intestinal epithelial homeostasis and immune tolerance. Yet, the specific host effector genes that mediate these responses remain poorly defined, limiting the identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods: A multi-layered Results: Under FDR correction, TSPAN32 emerged as the sole transcriptome-wide significant gene following SCFA exposure (log Conclusion: These hypothesis-generating findings nominate TSPAN32 as the primary SCFA-responsive effector gene in intestinal epithelial cells, coordinating epigenetic remodeling and immunometabolic reprogramming. Causal validation through functional perturbation and independent cohort replication is required before clinical translation.
