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 and objectives: Stroke is a common group of cerebrovascular diseases that can lead to brain damage or death. Several studies have shown a close link between oral health and stroke. However, the oral microbiome profiling of ischemic stroke (IS) and its potential clinical implication are unclear. This study aimed to describe the oral microbiota composition of IS, the high risk of IS, and healthy individuals and to profile the relationship between microbiota and IS prognosis. Methods: This observational study recruited three groups: IS, high-risk IS (HRIS), and healthy control (HC) individuals. Clinical data and saliva were collected from participants. The modified Rankin scale score after 90 days was used to assess the prognosis of stroke. Extracted DNA from saliva and performed 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing. Sequence data were analyzed using QIIME2 and R packages to evaluate the association between the oral microbiome and stroke. Results: A total of 146 subjects were enrolled in this study according to the inclusion criteria. Compared with HC, HRIS and IS demonstrated a progressive increase trend in Chao1, observed species richness, and Shannon and Simpson diversity index. On the basis of permutational multivariate analysis of variance, the data indicate a great variation in the saliva microbiota composition between HC and HRIS (F = 2.40, P < 0.001), HC and IS (F = 5.07, P < 0.001), and HRIS and IS (F = 2.79, P < 0.001). The relative abundance of Discussion: In summary, the oral salivary microbiome of HRIS and IS subjects have a higher diversity, and the differential bacteria have some predictive value for the severity and prognosis of IS. Oral microbiota may be used as potential biomarkers in patients with IS.
