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

Microbiota is associated with our bodily functions and microenvironment. A healthy, balanced gut microbiome not only helps maintain mucosal integrity, prevents translocation of bacterial content, and contributes to immune status, but also associates with estrogen metabolism. Gut dysbiosis and estrobolome dysfunction have hence been linked to certain estrogen-dependent diseases, including endometriosis. While prior studies on microbiomes and endometriosis have shown conflicting results, most of the observed microbial differences are seen in the genital tract. This case-control study of reproductive-age women utilizes their fecal and urine samples for enzymatic, microbial, and metabolic studies to explore if patients with endometriosis have distinguishable gut microbiota or altered estrogen metabolism. While gut β-glucuronidase activities, microbial diversity, and abundance did not vary significantly between patients with or without endometriosis, fecal samples of patients with endometriosis were more enriched by the
