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

backgroundOsteoporosis is an age-related disease. The relationship between gut microbiota (GM) homeostasis and bone health is well established, but the mechanism of GM dysbiosis contributes to senile osteoporosis remains elusive. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between GM, bile acids (BAs) and their effects on bone mass.

results16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted and targeted metabolomics revealed a reduction in microbial diversity, accompanied by the change of BA profile. In particular, the abundance of

conclusionsThis study identified the GM-HDCA-TGR5 axis is a key pathway that affects bone mass and targeted intervention of HDCA represents potential therapeutic option for osteoporosis.
