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

backgroundsParkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms. It has been found that intestinal issues usually precede motor symptoms. Microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract can affect central nervous system through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Accumulating evidence has shown that disturbances in the microbiota-gut-brain axis are linked with PD. Thus, this pathway appears to be a promising therapeutic target for treatment of PD.

objectivesIn this review, we mainly described gut dysbiosis in PD and their underlying mechanisms for mediating neuroinflammation and peripheral immune response in PD pathology and futher discussed the potential small-molecule compounds and genic therapeutic strategies targeting the microbiota-gut-brain axis and their applications in PD.

conclusionsStudies have found that some small molecule compounds and alterations of inflammation-related genes can improve the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD by improving the microbiota-gut-brain axis, which may provide potentially beneficial drugs and molecular targets for the therapies of PD.
