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

Objective: To observe the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types, and to further explore the key microbial communities and functional differences affecting syndrome differentiation. Methods: A total of 45 patients who visited the Department of Geriatrics, Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in 2023 were enrolled. These included 15 T2DM patients with qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome (Group A), 15 T2DM patients with qi-yin deficiency syndrome (Group B), and 15 non-diabetic patients from the same period (Group C). Fecal samples were collected, and 16S rRNA sequencing and analysis were performed. Results: 1) A total of 1564 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained from the three groups of patients, with 224, 127, and 351 unique OTUs identified in Groups A, B and C, respectively. 2) Both α- and β-diversity analyses indicated differences among the gut microbiota of the three groups. For instance, in the α-diversity analysis, the Sobs index showed significant inter-group differences ( Conclusion: The differences in the gut microbiota characteristics and functions among patients with specific TCM syndromes of T2DM may provide references for TCM syndrome differentiation and therapeutic mechanisms.
