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

backgroundDysbiosis of oral microbiota is the cause of many diseases related to oral and general health. However, few Asia-based studies have evaluated the role of oral microbiota in patients receiving long-term care. Thus, new indications are needed for early prevention and risk management based on information derived from the oral microbiota.

methodsWe used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify the oral bacterial composition and abundance in patients receiving long-term care: 20 from the outpatient department (OPD) and 20 home-care patients. Their microbial compositions, taxonomy, and alpha/beta diversity were characterized.

resultsMicrobiota from the two groups showed different diversity and homogeneity, as well as distinct bacterial species. A more diverse and stable microbial population was observed among OPD patients. Our findings indicated that home-care patients had a higher risk of oral diseases due to the existence of dominant species and a less stable microbial community.

conclusionThis work was the first in Taiwan to use NGS to investigate the oral microbiota of long-term care patients. Our study demonstrated the potential use of dominant bacterial species as biomarkers for the risk management of posttreatment complications.
