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

Metabolites produced by gut microbes have been linked to the pathophysiology of several disorders, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is a primary diet-induced metabolite generated by the gut microbiota. TMAO is involved in dysregulation of bile acid and cholesterol metabolism, which promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction leading to vascular damages. Aging is usually associated with cardio-metabolic diseases, and the increasing evidence reveals that TMAO is linked with an increased risk of CVD in elderly. However, the exact relationship between plasma TMAO levels, the risk of CVD, and aging remains unclear. In this review, we explore the three-dimensional relationship between TMAO, aging, and CVD. Moreover, we discussed the new therapies used to reduce TMAO levels in aging and CVD.
