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

The dysbiosis of gut microbiota is associated with the pathogenesis of human diseases. However, observing shifts in the microbe abundance cannot fully reveal underlying perturbations. Examining the relationship alterations (RAs) in the microbiome between health and disease statuses provides additional hints about the pathogenesis of human diseases, but no methods were designed to detect and quantify the RAs between different conditions directly. Here, we present profile monitoring for microbial relationship alteration (PM2RA), an analysis framework to identify and quantify the microbial RAs. The performance of PM2RA was evaluated with synthetic data, and it showed higher specificity and sensitivity than the co-occurrence-based methods. Analyses of real microbial datasets showed that PM2RA was robust for quantifying microbial RAs across different datasets in several diseases. By applying PM2RA, we identified several novel or previously reported microbes implicated in multiple diseases. PM2RA is now implemented as a web-based application available at http://www.pm2ra-xingyinliulab.cn/.
