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

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of mortality in Mexico. The microbiota plays a crucial role in immune regulation, and its dysbiosis promotes low-grade inflammation, a key contributor to AMI development. This study aimed to compare the oral (OM) and gut microbiota (GM) composition in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and healthy controls. Additionally, we explored the interaction between these microbiomes and their correlations with inflammatory profiles and metabolites. In this study, we included 36 STEMI patients and 12 healthy subjects. The composition of both GM and OM was analyzed through 16S sequencing of dental plaque and stool samples. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were measured via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, while serum cytokines were assessed using flow cytometry. STEMI patients exhibited significant differences in OM alpha and beta diversity, while GM structure remained unchanged compared to healthy group. Several differentially abundant genera were identified in both OM and GM. Regarding SCFA profiles, Healthy subjects displayed a higher abundance of isovaleric acid, whereas isobutyric and 2-methylbutyric acids were significantly higher in STEMI patients. Moreover, correlations between circulating SCFAs, cytokines, and microbiota composition were observed in both niches. Furthermore, network analysis suggests that oral bacteria, particularly those linked to periodontal disease, can potentially influence GM by interacting with SCFA-producing bacteria. This is the first study in México to comprehensively explore OM and GM in STEMI patients. Our findings highlight the potential for developing preventive strategies against myocardial infarction by exploring both oral and gut microbiomes, as well inflammatory markers and SCFAs.
