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

Background: Over the past 20 years, evidence has suggested that gut microbiota plays an important role in metabolic homeostasis. The relationship between gut microbiota and diabetes has become the focus of considerable scientific interest. With the sharp increase in publications in this area, it is imperative to analyze the relevant articles using bibliometrics methods. Methods: Publications on "the gut microbiota and diabetes" were retrieved and downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Microsoft Excel 2020, VOSviewer, CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and Co-Occurrence 9.94 software were used for data analysis and visualization. Country/academic institution, journal, author, subject category, keyword and reference were analyzed thoroughly. The cutting-edge directions in this field were also determined by analyzing keywords and key articles. Results: A total of 2,342 documents were included in the analysis; the number of articles in this field has increased yearly, particularly after 2010. China and the University of Copenhagen are the country and research institution associated with the largest number of publications. Conclusion: Over the past two decades, the rapid development of research on the gut microbiota has deepened the understanding of the physiology and pathology of diabetes, providing new insights into different approaches to treatment. In the future, further interdisciplinary innovation, clinical transformation, and application may receive more attention.
