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

introductionSeveral studies investigated the implication of the gut microbiota (GM) in the formation and progression of aneurysms, suggesting a key role for GM metabolites in aneurysmal pathogenesis and prognosis.

aimThis systematic review aims to collect key findings concerning the impact of gut bacterial compositions, GM-related metabolites, probiotics administration, and inflammatory markers in aneurysmal development and rupture.

methodsA PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science database search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews, targeting all studies assessing the GM's role in aneurysms till 2023.

resultsData from 19 out of 292 non-duplicated studies were included. Based on the published literature, aneurysmal incidents in several locations were accompanied by an alteration in specific intestinal bacteria that may affect the prognosis of the aneurysm. The gut dysbiosis was also accompanied by modifications in the metabolic pathways. Hence, the administration of specific probiotics showed a significant implication in reversing the GM-related changes that were affecting the aneurysm, leading to a decrease in its severity, a better prognosis, and even serving as a prophylactic approach.

conclusionsThe outcomes of this review highlight the role of GM in the pathogenesis of aneurysms, assessing some involved mechanistic pathways such as gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and the alteration of gut-derived metabolites levels, which orient new research on developing therapeutic strategies.
