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

Background: Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) is one of the frequent causes of death, especially in the developing world. Liver transplantation (LT) is an effective modality to treat end-stage liver disease. Perioperative management of liver transplantation patients and prevention of postoperative complications are the key to improving patient prognosis and quality of life, and the intestinal flora of these patients can affect postoperative complications and overall prognosis. Method: We collected a total of 151 fecal samples from 59 liver transplantation patients at different stages from the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. Using 16S rRNA sequencing technology, we compared the characteristics and changes of their microbiota. We selected 42 samples for metagenomic sequencing using the microPITA method to further analyze the composition and functional differences of the microbiota during the perioperative period of liver transplantation across various time points. Results: After liver transplantation (LT), the diversity of gut microbiota initially decreased and then increased. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidota were the main bacterial groups during the perioperative period. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria initially decreased and then increased, while Bacteroidota exhibited the opposite process. Alpha diversity and beta diversity analyses indicated that 1 month post-transplantation was a turning point for microbiota recovery ( Conclusion: The diversity of intestinal flora in the perioperative period of LT patients decreased first and then increased, and the turning point of intestinal flora recovery was 1 month after LT surgery.
