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

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that alterations in gut microbiota composition are associated with the hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, the causal association between gut microbiota and HS remain undetermined. Methods: We performed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association study summary data of gut microbiota and hidradenitis suppurativa from the MiBioGen consortium which concluded 18,340 individuals analyzed by the MiBioGen Consortium, comprising 211 gut microbiota. HS data were acquired from strictly defined HS data collected by FinnGenbiobank analysis, which included 211,548 European ancestors (409 HS patients, 211,139 controls). The inverse variance weighted method (IVW), weighted median (WME), simple model, weighted model, weighted median, and MR-Egger were used to determine the changes of HS pathogenic bacterial taxa, followed by sensitivity analysis including horizontal pleiotropy analysis. The MR Steiger test evaluated the strength of a causal association and the leave-one-out method assessed the reliability of the results. Additionally, a reverse MR analysis was carried out to seek for possible reverse causality. Results: By combining the findings of all the MR steps, we identified four causal bacterial taxa, namely, Family XI, Porphyromonadaceae, Conclusion: This study indicates that
