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

Emerging evidence positions the gut microbiota as a pivotal regulator of host metabolism and immunity, particularly in atherosclerosis pathogenesis, with epigenetic mechanisms serving as fundamental mediators of gene expression control. This review systematically summarizes gut microbiome-driven epigenetic pathways, encompassing DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNA networks and their interplay with atherosclerosis-related pathological processes. We synthesize current evidence on microbiota-epigenome crosstalk, highlighting its potential mechanistic contributions to atherosclerotic plaque development.
