Microbiome signatures in ischemic stroke: A systematic review.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Microbial structural changes and dysfunction play an important role in the development of cerebral ischemia. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library and conducted a systematic review to assess the relationship between the human microbiome and ischemic stroke. A total of 24 studies were included, and the intestinal bacterial communities detected in both stroke and healthy people were dominated by 4 main phyla, including Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. Significant diversity (alpha and beta) in patients with ischemic versus nonischemic stroke was observed in nine out of 18 studies, and 3 studies showed that the severity of ischemic stroke affected microbial diversity. The imbalance of bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) changes the bacterial metabolic pathway, and disorders in the level of bacterial metabolites (trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO) lead to significant changes in intestinal flora function, which may aggravate the severity of stroke and affect its prognosis. Further studies are needed to explore the relationship between the microbiome and ischemic stroke.
