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

The gut microbiota (GM) comprises microorganisms in the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Lifestyle choices like smoking lead to gut dysbiosis. This review assessed the effect of cigarette smoke (CS) on gut microbial dysbiosis (GMD) in active smokers compared to non-smokers, as well as the resulting public health implications. A comprehensive search was conducted using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, and PubMed. The search result was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool was used to evaluate the recruited studies. There were 468 articles found, with 17 of them qualifying for full-text screening. Five of these studies were included in the review. Smoke harmed gut microbe proportions; smokers had more Bacteroidetes and less Firmicutes than non-smokers, affecting their Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (Fir/Bac) ratio. This has significant public health implications. Organisms enriched in the smokers such as
