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

backgroundThere is a dearth of population-based studies on the association between the diversity of the oral microbiome and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study aims to investigate the association between oral microbiome diversity and COPD.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2009-2012) were analyzed. The association between the oral microbiome α-diversity and COPD risk was examined via multivariable logistic regression, with Restricted cubic splines revealing potential non-linear trends. The β-diversity disparities between COPD and non-COPD groups were delineated using Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) and Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA).

resultsA total of 6061 participants were included in this study. For α-diversity, the observed ASVs were significantly associated with COPD risk (OR = 0.964, 95%CI: 0.936-0.993, P = 0.016). Similarly, Faith's phylogenetic Diversity showed a significant association with COPD risk (OR = 0.955, 95%CI: 0.919-0.993, P = 0.020). The Shannon-Weiner index was also associated with COPD risk (OR = 0.829, 95%CI: 0.702-0.981, P = 0.029). For β-diversity, PCoA and PERMANOVA analysis showed statistically significant differences in Bray-Curtis, unweighted, and weighted UniFrac distances (all P < 0.01) between the COPD and non-COPD groups.

conclusionsSignificant differences in oral microbiome α-diversity and β-diversity were found between COPD and non-COPD populations, with α-diversity (observed ASVs, Faith's Phylogenetic Diversity, Shannon-Weiner index) being negatively associated with the risk of COPD.
