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: Bacterial DNA from oral microorganisms has been found in various cardiovascular tissues, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) tissue. In addition, experiments in murine models have shown that the oral pathogen Methods: A total of 73 oral wash samples were collected from 45 subjects with AAA and 28 with atherosclerotic disease. Bacterial DNA was isolated, and the V1-V3 segment of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was amplified. Taxonomic profiles were constructed using DADA2, and statistical inferences on alpha diversity, beta diversity, and differential abundance were performed, adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, and cancer history. Sensitivity analyses additionally adjusted for cancer status, statin use, proton pump inhibitor use, and diabetes. Bacterial gene potential functions were predicted using PICRUSt2. Results: The oral microbial community composition differed in beta diversity (weighted UniFrac distance, Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that the oral microbiome differs between patients with AAA and those with advanced atherosclerotic disease and support further investigation of oral microbial alterations and their relationship to vascular pathologies.
