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

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. Studies have revealed that gut microbiota and their metabolism play important roles in ASD, and become the underlying mechanisms of ASD. Methods: In this study, we performed long-read 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics to comprehensively characterize the profiles of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites in 34 ASD patients and 18 healthy controls. The associations between gut microbiota, fecal metabolites and clinical symptoms were analyzed to screen related biomarkers for ASD. Results: The results showed the similarity of the overall microbial richness and diversity between ASD patients and controls, however, some specific bacterial taxa exhibited significant differences, including Discussion: The associations of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites might shed new light on the pathogenesis of ASD and help us to understand the importance of gut microbiota as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the development of ASD.
