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: A growing number of studies have implicated that gut microbial abundance and metabolite concentration alterations are associated with celiac disease (CD). However, the causal relationship underlying these associations is unclear. Here, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to reveal the causal effect of gut microbiota and metabolites on CD. Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary-level data for gut microbiota, metabolites, and CD were extracted from published GWASs. Causal bacterial taxa and metabolites for CD were determined by two-sample MR analyses. The robustness of the results was assessed with sensitivity analyses. Finally, reverse causality was investigated with a reverse MR analysis. Results: Genetically, increased genus Conclusion: We investigated the causal relationships between gut microbiota, metabolites, and CD with two-sample MR. Our findings suggest several novel potential therapeutic targets for CD treatment. Further understanding of the underlying mechanism may provide insights into CD pathogenesis.
