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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the C-512T polymorphism of the FOXC2 gene and intestinal microbiota in patients with T2DM. Methods: Peripheral blood and fecal specimens were collected from 170 patients with T2DM and tested for the C-512T polymorphism of the FOXC2 gene by DNA sequencing. Based on the genotype test results, 120 patients were finally included and divided into CC, CT, and TT groups (40 patients in each group). The structural composition and function of the intestinal microbiota were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and differences between groups of intestinal microbiota were assessed. Results: Alpha Diversity analysis suggested that there was no prominent difference in the abundance and diversity of intestinal microbiota among CC, CT, and TT groups. PCoA analysis in Beta diversity suggested that the composition of enteric flora might be different between CC and CT groups ( Conclusion: The C-512T polymorphism in the FOXC2 gene has been associated with the structural abundance and species composition of type 2 diabetic intestinal microbiota.
