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

Currently, the precise causes of over 40 % of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) cases cannot be identified, leading to the term "unexplained RSA" (URSA). Through an exploration of the gut microbiota, metabolites, and immune cell subsets in URSA, this study establishes a link between gut microbiota-derived metabolites and immune cells. The results indicate reduced diversity in the gut microbiota of URSA. Targeted metabolomic analyses reveal decreased levels of gut microbiota-derived deoxycholic acid (DCA), glycolithocholic acid (GLCA), acetate, propionate, and butyrate in URSA. Furthermore, elevated frequencies of Th1, Th17, and plasma B cells, along with decreased frequencies of Tregs and Bregs, are observed in the peripheral blood of URSA. The results demonstrate correlations between the levels of gut microbiota-derived bile acids and short-chain fatty acids and the frequencies of various immune cell subsets in circulation. Collectively, this study uncovers an association between gut microbiota-derived metabolites and circulating immune cell subsets in URSA.
