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

Menopausal syndrome, occurring during the menopausal stage in women, manifests as symptoms stemming from decreased estrogen levels, such as hot flashes, insomnia, mental disorders (anxiety, depression), and osteoporosis. The bulk of studies have indicated alterations in the gut microbiota of those experiencing menopause syndrome compared to healthy women. However, This article focuses on the alterations in gut microbiota in perimenopausal women. Our study utilized 16 s rRNA sequencing to determine the differences in the gut microbiota and metabolites among 44 menopausal syndrome women. The distribution of gut microbiota in postmenopausal women varies based on the level of follicle stimulating hormone, with changes in gut microbiota abundance taking precedence over symptom onset. Fecal metabolites reveal changes in several metabolites, including Amino acid metabolism (Tyrosine, Tryptophan), Lipid metabolism (Alpha linolenic acid metabolism), and other metabolites. Disturbances in lipid metabolism, triggered by hormonal level fluctuations, can contribute to the development of osteoporosis.
