Sex Differences in Fecal Microbiota Correlation With Physiological and Biochemical Indices Associated With End-Stage Renal Disease Caused by Immunoglobulin a Nephropathy or Diabetes.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study investigated the sex-specific differences in the correlation between intestinal microbiota and end-stage renal disease. Here, we compared the differences in the gut microbiota of male and female healthy controls (HC) and patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) caused by immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (ESRD-IgAN) or type-2 diabetes mellitus (ESRD-T2DM) using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. We also analyzed the correlation between gut microbiota and clinical immune indicators. We assigned 8, 10, 5, 7, 11, and 20 volunteers to female HC, ESRD-IgAN, and ESRD-T2DM, and male HC, ESRD-IgAN, and ESRD-T2DM, respectively. The results showed sex-specific differences in both physiological and biochemical indices and intestinal microbiota composition, as well as the correlation between them. The correlations between physiological and biochemical indices in men were significantly lower than those in women, especially for indices related to immunity, blood glucose, and cardiac color sonography. Urine output, lymphocyte ratio, serum albumin, blood calcium, dialysis status, serum urea nitrogen, urine protein, and diabetes significantly correlated with male fecal microbiota composition, whereas only creatinine and 2-h post-prandial blood glucose significantly correlated with female fecal microbiota composition. The top 50 dominant operational taxonomic units showed a stronger correlation with physiological and biochemical indices in samples obtained from females than from males. These differences highlight sex-specific differences in the effectiveness of ESRD prevention and treatments
