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: Gut microbiota has been reported to be associated with a series of metabolic diseases including metabolic bone disease. However, study about gut microbiota and craniosynostosis (CS) is very rare. We aim to investigate the gut microbiota composition in CS patients and assess the possible relationship. Methods: A total of 30 infants with CS and 30 infants with non-CS treated in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University of Jiangsu Province from June 2021 to March 2022 were finally included in this study. All processing and analysis are carried out using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) high-throughput gene sequencing. Results: The CS group have significantly lower levels of family, genus, and species than non-CS group (all P<0.05). Furthermore, Conclusions: Gut microbiota was statistically associated with the development of CS, and several taxa and specific functional pathways with significantly altered abundance have been identified in CS patients. These findings can provide clues for the study on the mechanism and early diagnosis of CS.
