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

Diabetes prevalence and incidence among youth have been increasing globally. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in children or adolescents accounts for 5-10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Emerging evidence indicates that genetic factors, especially genes in the human leukocyte antigen region, are not the only factors involved in the predisposition of an individual to T1D. The pathogenesis and development of T1D is driven by both genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Studies indicate that gut microbiota is one of the potential environmental influencers involved in the pathophysiology of TID. Gut microbiota mediates the development of diabetes by altering intestinal permeability, modifying intestinal immunity, and molecular mimicry. The gut microbial diversity, taxonomic profile, and functional potential of gut microbes are significantly altered in individuals with T1D as compared to healthy individuals. However, studies are still needed to identify the specific microbes and microbial metabolites that are involved in the development and pathogenesis of T1D. This will help the development of microbiome-based therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of T1D. The present review article highlights the following: (i) the current knowledge and knowledge gaps in understanding the association between T1D and gut microbiome specifically focusing on the composition and functional potential of gut microbiome in children and adolescents, (ii) the possible mechanisms involved in gut microbiome-mediated T1D pathogenesis, and (iii) challenges and future direction in this field.
