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

Observational studies have shown that the gut microbiota (GM) is associated with bone diseases, particularly calcium-phosphorus metabolic bone diseases, demonstrating the existence of a gut-bone axis. However, whether these associations are causal effects remains to be determined. This study employed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) using summary data from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of 211 gut microbial taxa and six metabolic bone diseases (osteoporosis, Osteopenia, osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, hypoparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism) to explore causal relationships and their directionality. Comprehensive sensitivity analyses were conducted to ensure the robustness of the results, and a false discovery rate-corrected p
