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

backgroundThe intestinal flora (IF) has been linked to risks of non-communicable diseases, especially various cancers, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. However, many uncertainties of these associations during different stages of growth, development, and aging still exist. Therefore, further in-depth explorations are warranted.

aimTo explore the associations of the human IF with disease risks during different stages of growth, development, and aging to achieve more accurate and convincing conclusions.

methodsCohort, cross-sectional, case-control, and Mendelian randomization studies published in the PubMed and Web of Science databases until December 31, 2023 were systematically reviewed to clarify the associations of the IF at the genus level with the risks of various non-communicable diseases, which were grouped in accordance with the 10

resultsIn total, 57 studies were included to quantitatively examine the influence of the IF on the risks of 30 non-communicable diseases during different stages of growth, development, and aging. Population studies and Mendelian randomization studies confirmed positive associations of the abundances of

conclusionThese findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the roles of the IF and provide novel evidence for effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases. In the future, it will be necessary to explore a greater variety of research techniques to uncover the specific mechanisms by which gut microbiota trigger diseases and conduct in-depth studies on the temporal relationship between microbiota alterations and diseases, so as to clarify the causal relationship more accurately.
