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

Despite the existing association of gut dysbiosis and T cell inflammation in heart failure (HF), whether and how gut microbes contribute to T cell immune responses, cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction in HF remains largely unexplored. Our objective was to investigate whether gut dysbiosis is induced by cardiac pressure overload, and its effect in T cell activation, adverse cardiac remodeling, and cardiac dysfunction. We used 16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples and discovered that cardiac pressure overload-induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) results in gut dysbiosis, characterized by a reduction of tryptophan and short-chain fatty acids producing bacteria in WT mice, but not in T cell-deficient mice (
