Association of gut microbiota with portal vein pressure in patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing living donor liver transplantation.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Aim: Many recent studies have shown a relationship between various systemic diseases and the gut microbiota (GM), with the gut-liver axis receiving particular attention. In contrast, no report has comprehensively shown the effects of GM on the pathophysiology of patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Method: We enrolled 16 recipients who underwent LDLT for liver cirrhosis, and 17 donors constituted the reference group. We examined the differences in GM between recipients and donors. We also examined the relationships between GM, short-chain fatty acids, and portal vein pressure (PVP) in recipients. Results: There was no significant difference in alpha-diversity between the recipients and donors, but there was variation in beta-diversity among the recipients. The abundance of the phylum Bacteroidetes was significantly higher in recipients than in donors ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest relationships between fecal Bacteroidetes levels, propionic acid concentrations, and PVP in patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing LDLT.
