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

Introduction: Enteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and NAFLD using Mendelian randomization (MR) and analyze the target genes potentially regulated by specific microbiota. Methods: Bidirectional two-sample MR analysis was performed using inverse variance weighted (IVW) supplemented by MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode methods. Data were pooled from gut microbiota and NAFLD association studies. The least absolute shrinkage, selection operator regression, and the Support Vector Machine algorithm were used to identify genes regulated by these intestinal flora in NAFLD. The liver expression of these genes was verified in methionine choline-deficient (MCD) diet-fed mice. Results: IVW results confirmed a causal relationship between eight specific gut microbes and NAFLD. Notably, the order Actinomycetales, NB1n, the family Actinomycetaceae, Oxalobacteraceae and the genus Discussion: The abundance of eight gut microbiota species and NAFLD progression displayed a causal relationship based on the expression of the four target genes. Our findings contributed to the advancement of intestinal microecology-based diagnostic technologies and targeted therapies for NAFLD.
