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

Background: Accumulating evidence suggested that Alzheimer's disease (AD) was associated with altered gut microbiota. However, the relationships between gut microbiota and specific cognitive domains of AD patients have yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to explore microbial signatures associated with global cognition and specific cognitive domains in AD patients and to determine their predictive value as biomarkers. Methods: A total of 64 subjects (18 mild AD, 23 severe AD and 23 healthy control) were recruited in the study. 16 s rDNA sequencing was performed for the gut bacteria composition, followed by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The global cognition, specific cognitive domains (abstraction, orientation, attention, language, etc.) and severity of cognitive impairment, were evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. We further identified characteristic bacteria and SCFAs, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value. Results: Our results showed that the microbiota dysbiosis index was significantly higher in the severe and mild AD patients compared to the healthy control (HC). Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) showed that 12 families and 17 genera were identified as key microbiota among three groups. The abundance of Conclusion: These findings revealed the signatures gut bacteria and metabolite SCFAs of AD patients and demonstrated the correlations between theses characteristic bacteria and SCFAs and specific cognitive domains, highlighting their potential value in early detection, monitoring, and intervention strategies for AD patients.
