The Mediation/Moderation Effects of Gut Microbiota on Sleep Quality and Primary Liver Cancer: A Mendelian Randomization and Case-Control Study.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Primary liver cancer (PLC) is a fatal malignancy, sleep quality and gut microbiota were shown to be associated with PLC. However, the mechanism of how sleep quality affects PLC is unclear. This study aims to investigate the mediation/moderation effects of gut microbiota on sleep quality and the occurrence of PLC. Methods: The causality of sleep quality and the occurrence of PLC was detected through the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis based on the data including 305,359 individuals (Finland Database) and 456,348 participants (UK Biobank). The primary method used for MR analysis was inverse-variance weighted analysis. Gut microbiota' mediation/moderation effects were uncovered in the case-control study including 254 patients with PLC and 193 people with benign liver diseases through the mediation/moderation effect analyses. People's sleep quality was evaluated through the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Results: Poor sleep quality could lead to PLC through the MR analysis ( Conclusion: Poor sleep quality was associated with PLC. Gut microbiota' mediation/moderation effects on poor sleep quality and the occurrence of PLC prompted an insightful idea for the prevention of PLC.
