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

backgroundThe gut microbiota of venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients exhibited significant alterations. However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and VTE has not been fully understood. This study aimed to assess the causal relationship between gut microbiota and the risk of VTE using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) study.

methodsThe gut microbiota and VTE genetic data were collected from the MiBioGen consortium and the UK biobank, respectively. The potential causal relationship between gut microbiota and VTE was investigated using a two-sample MR analysis, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, MR-Egger, simple mode, and weighted mode methods. Cochran's Q-test, MR-PRESSO, and MR-Egger regression intercept analysis were utilized to perform sensitivity analysis.

resultsAt the genus level, the results of MR analysis found that Coprococcus1 (OR: 1.0029, 95% CI: 1.0005-1.0054, p = 0.0202) was suggestively linked with an increased risk of VTE, while Slackia (odds ratio (OR): 0.9977, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.9957-0.9998, p = 0.0298), Butyricicoccus (OR: 0.9971, 95% CI: 0.9945-0.9997, p = 0.0309), Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group (OR: 0.9972, 95% CI: 0.9946-0.9999, p = 0.0445), and Bacteroides (OR: 0.9964, 95% CI: 0.9932-0.9995, p = 0.0234) were suggestively associated with a reduced risk of VTE. No heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy was detected.

conclusionThis study found that there were potential causal relationships between five gut microbiota and VTE. Our findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms of VTE.
