Unveiling the causal effects of gut microbiome on trimethylamine N-oxide: evidence from Mendelian randomization.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: The relationship between gut microbiome and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to assess the causal effects of different gut microbes on TMAO using Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: Gut microbiome and TMAO datasets were acquired from genome-wide association studies and screened for single nucleotide polymorphisms according to the basic assumptions of MR. Inverse variance weighted was used as the main method in MR analysis to assess the causal relationship between the gut microbiome and TMAO. Finally, the MR-Egger intercept, Cochran's Q test, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were used to assess the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and robustness of the results, respectively. Results: MR analysis revealed that the Conclusion: Our findings revealed the role of the
