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

Hematological features are one of the best-known aspects of high-altitude adaptation in Tibetans. However, it is still unclear whether the intestinal microbiota is associated with the hematology profile. In this study, routine blood tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to investigate the differences in the intestinal microbiota and hematological parameters of native Tibetan herders and Han immigrants sampled at 3,900 m. The blood test results suggested that the platelet counts (PLTs) were significantly higher in native Tibetans than the Han immigrants. The feces of the native Tibetans had significantly greater microbial diversity (more different species: Simpson's and Shannon's indices) than that of the Han immigrants. The native Tibetans also had a different fecal microbial community structure than the Han immigrants. A Bray-Curtis distance-based redundancy analysis and envfit function test showed that body mass index (BMI) and PLT were significant explanatory variables that correlated with the fecal microbial community structure in native Tibetans. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that
