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

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The biological mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AD aren't completely clear. Studies have shown that the gut microbiota could be associated with AD pathogenesis; however, the pathways involved still need to be investigated. Aims: To explore the possible pathways of the involvement of gut microbiota in AD pathogenesis through metabolites and to identify new AD biomarkers. Methods: Seven-month-old APP/PS1 mice were used as AD models. The Morris water maze test was used to examine learning and memory ability. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and widely targeted metabolomics were used to identify the gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolic profile, respectively, followed by a combined analysis of microbiomics and metabolomics. Results: Impaired learning abilities were observed in APP/PS1 mice. Statistically significant changes in the gut microbiota were detected, including a reduction in β-diversity, a higher ratio of Conclusions: Gut microbiota may be involved in the pathological processes associated with cognitive impairment in AD by dysregulating pyrimidine metabolism.
