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

introductionGut microbiota is now considered to be a hidden organ that interacts bidirectionally with cellular responses in numerous organs belonged to the immune, bone, and nervous systems. Here, we aimed to investigate the relationships between gut microbiota and complex diseases by utilizing multiple publicly available genome-wide association. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe applied a novel microbiota-related gene set enrichment analysis approach to detect the associations between gut microbiota and complex diseases by processing genome-wide association studies (GWASs) data sets of six autoimmune diseases (including celiac disease (CeD), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), type 1 diabetes (T1D) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) and osteoporosis (OP).

resultsThe family Oxalobacteraceae and genus Candidatus_Soleaferrea were found to be correlated with all of the six autoimmune diseases (FDR adjusted P < 0.05). Moreover, we observed that the six autoimmune diseases except PBC shared 3 overlapping features (including family Peptostreptococcaceae, order Gastranaerophilales and genus Romboutsia). For all of the six autoimmune diseases and BMDs (LS-BMD and TB-BMD), an association signal was observed for genus Candidatus_Soleaferrea (FDR adjusted P < 0.05). Notably, FA / FN-BMD shared the maximum number of overlapping microbial features (e.g., genus Ruminococcaceae_UCG009, Erysipelatoclostridium and Ruminococcaceae_UCG013).

conclusionOur study found that part of the gut microbiota could be novel regulators of BMDs and autoimmune diseases via the effects of its metabolites and may lead to a better understanding of the role played by gut microbiota in the communication of the microbiota-skeletal/immune-gut axis.
