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

Gut microbiota affects host health and disease. Large-scale cohorts have explored the interactions between the microbiota, host, and environment to reveal the disease-associated microbiota variation. A population-level gut metagenomic cohort is still rare in China. Here, we performed metagenomic sequencing on fecal samples from the CMEC Microbiome Project in Southwest China. In this study, we identified host socioeconomics, diet, lifestyle, and medical measurements that were significantly associated with microbiome function and composition. We revealed extensive novel associations between the host microbiome and common metabolic disorders. Our results provide new insight into associations of gut microbiota with metabolic disorders so as to support the translation of gut microbiome findings into potential clinical practice.
