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 genetic predisposition and environmental factors both trigger the complex neurological dyskinesia of essential tremor (ET). Gut dysbiosis may facilitate the occurrence and development of neurological diseases. Therefore, it is worth exploring the inner connections between gut microbiota and ET. First, the gut microbiota of 19 ET patients and 21 healthy controls (HCs) were analysed with metagenomics approach. Second, the potential linkages between gut microbiome and serum metabolome profiles were explored by integrative analysis. The gut microbiota disorders were present in ET patients. The LEfSe method showed a significant decrease in Bacteroides. The functional analysis revealed that there were differences in gut microbial apoptosis, retinol metabolism, and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways. The levels of various lipids and lipid-like molecules alter in serum of ET patients, which correlated with altered gut microbial abundance, indicating the alterations in lipid metabolism involved in apoptosis pathway in ET. All of these data point to the gut dysbiosis in ET, and some changed gut microbial species were linked to abnormalities in blood lipid metabolism, which open up new avenues for investigation into the pathophysiology of ET.
