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

The gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining the body's homeostasis, and its disruption has been linked to the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and cognitive decline. This review attempted to assess whether the composition of the gut microbiota differs significantly according to the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and whether the presence of specific cytokines and inflammatory markers in the microbiota of patients with atherosclerosis may correlate with cognitive impairment. In addition, it considered whether increased dietary fiber intake may contribute to lower levels of inflammatory markers compared to a low-fiber diet. This review included publications from 2015 to 2024, searched in the PubMed and Scopus databases. Only studies meeting the quality criteria were included. The pooled data indicate that intestinal dysbiosis can lead to increased intestinal barrier permeability and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation, which promotes chronic inflammation. This process plays an important role in both atherosclerosis and neurodegeneration. In addition, some studies indicate a beneficial effect of dietary fiber in reducing inflammatory markers. The conclusions of this review highlight the need for further, well-designed studies to identify the causal relationship between the microbiota, its metabolites, atherosclerosis, and cognitive deficits, which may provide the basis for new therapeutic strategies.
