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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with the gut microbiota, and identifying reliable gut microbiota biomarkers enhances AD diagnosis. We aim to characterize the gut microbiota in AD patients by integrating data from multiple populations and identifying key candidate gut microbiota indicators with diagnostic value for AD. Public data from studies on AD and gut microbiota were collected, including participants from AD dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and normal control (NC) groups. Microbiota composition, diversity, and network analyses were used to characterize the gut microbiota of the three groups. Differential bacterial genera identified simultaneously by seven common methods served as candidate indicators. The study included 799 AD dementia, 170 MCI, and 731 NC participants. The AD dementia group demonstrated a lower relative abundance of IMPORTANCE: This study characterized the gut microbiota of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and identified candidate indicators for AD diagnosis using a large, multi-population data set. The AD dementia group consistently showed lower α-diversity and a sparser microbiota interaction network than the other groups. We identified 35 bacterial genera as candidate indicators for AD, including first-time reports of
