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

objectivesTo investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and kidney stones.

methodsMendelian randomization analysis was conducted based on data from the MiBioGen consortium gut microbiota GWAS (exposure factors) and the IEU Open GWAS kidney stone dataset ukb-b-8297 (outcome variables) using the inverse variance weighted, MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode methods. Heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and leave-one-out sensitivity analyses were also performed. In the animal experiment, 12 male SD rats were randomized into control group with saline treatment and kidney stone model group treated with 1% ethylene glycol and 2% ammonium chloride for 28 consecutive days. Urine, blood, and intestinal samples of the rats were collected for testing the changes in renal function and intestinal barrier-related indicators, and kidney and colon pathologies were examined with histological staining and immunohistochemistry. The changes in diversity and abundance of gut microbiota were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

resultsMendelian randomization analysis showed that decreased abundances of
