Review in Hepatology communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 112 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The gut and the liver are anatomically and physiologically connected, and this "gut-liver axis" exerts various influences on liver pathology. The gut microbiota consists of various microorganisms that normally coexist in the human gut and have a role of maintaining the homeostasis of the host. However, once homeostasis is disturbed, metabolites and components derived from the gut microbiota translocate to the liver and induce pathologic effects in the liver. In this review, we introduce and discuss the mechanisms of liver inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer that are influenced by gut microbial components and metabolites; we include recent advances in molecular-based therapeutics and novel mechanistic findings associated with the gut-liver axis and gut microbiota.
