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

backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major threat to public health.

objectiveCompare the gut microbial composition between Chinese and Japanese patients with cardiovascular diseases and healthy subjects. STUDY SELECTION: Observational studies with Chinese and Japanese populations. Reviews, duplicate, book chapters, and other irrelevant studies were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION: Independent searching by two investigators (LLJ, HJL). DATA SYNTHESIS: Data from eleven studies (with 960 subjects) were included for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that the abundance of Firmicutes in patients with cardiovascular disease was [ES=0.42, 95%CI, (0.34, 0.50),

conclusionOur data show that patients with cardiovascular disease had higher levels of gut Firmicutes when compared to healthy controls. In addition, gut microbial dysbiosis was present in patients with cardiovascular diseases. LIMITATIONS: Due to limited quality and quantity of selected studies, conclusions from the current study need to be validated by future studies. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
