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

backgroundThe gastrointestinal microbiota is emerging as an important mediator in intestinal metabolism, such as vitamin D absorption.

methodsTo elucidate the causality of microbiota and vitamin D, we used linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods with largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to identify specific taxa that are linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).

resultsWe found that Ruminiclostridium9 was significantly genetically correlated with 25(OH)D at nominal significance (r

conclusionsIn conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that the gut microbiota mediates the absorption of serum vitamin D supplementation and interacts with it closely. These microbiota are potential therapeutic targets for promoting serum vitamin D homeostasis.
