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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide and seriously affects the quality of life of elderly patients. PD is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra as well as abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein in neurons. Recent research has deepened our understanding of the gut microbiota, revealing that it participates in the pathological process of PD through the gut-brain axis, suggesting that the gut may be the source of PD. Therefore, studying the relationship between gut microbiota and PD is crucial for improving our understanding of the disease's prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In this review, we first describe the bidirectional regulation of the gut-brain axis by the gut microbiota and the mechanisms underlying the involvement of gut microbiota and their metabolites in PD. We then summarize the different species of gut microbiota found in patients with PD and their correlations with clinical symptoms. Finally, we review the most comprehensive animal and human studies on treating PD through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), discussing the challenges and considerations associated with this treatment approach.
