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

Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is the end result of nearly all cardiovascular disease and is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Studies have demonstrated that intestinal flora has a close relationship with the development of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and plays a vital role in the disease evolution process. Phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln) a metabolite of the intestinal flora, is one of the common chronic kidney disease toxins. Its concentrations in plasma were higher in patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) however, its variation in patients with various degrees of CHF has rarely been reported. Therefore, we collected stool and plasma samples from 22 healthy controls, 29 patients with NYHA Class III and 29 patients with NYHA Class IV CHF (NYHA stands for New York Heart Association) from the Department of Cardiology of Shanghai Fengxian District Central Hospital. Next, we analyzed these samples by performing bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The result shows: The Chao 1 index was significantly lower in both NYHA class III and NYHA class IV than it was in the control group. The beta diversity was substantially dissimilar across the three groups. The linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis (LEfSe) showed that the bacterial species with the largest differences were
