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

backgroundAutoimmune liver diseases, including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and their overlap syndrome (OS), involve immune-mediated liver injury, with OS occurring in 1.2%-25% of PBC patients. OS carries a higher risk of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and reduced survival. While its pathogenesis remains unclear, gut microbiota dysbiosis and serum metabolite alterations may play key roles. This study uses 16S rRNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics to compare gut microbiota and serum metabolites among PBC, AIH, and OS patients, and explores their associations with liver function.

aimTo differentiate OS from PBC and AIH based on gut microbiota, serum metabolites, and liver function.

methodsGut microbiota profiles were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, while untargeted serum metabolomics was conducted

resultsCompared to patients with PBC or AIH, OS patients demonstrated significantly reduced microbial diversity and richness. Notable taxonomic shifts included decreased abundances of

conclusionOS patients show decreased gut microbiota diversity and unique serum metabolites. Multi-omics linked AST,
