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

Previous studies have established a causal relationship between gut microbiota and acute pancreatitis (AP) using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, with a predominant focus on European populations. This study aimed to systematically evaluate this association through meta-analysis and bidirectional MR in East Asian populations. The meta-analysis integrated data from 10 studies, revealing that gut dysbiosis significantly increased AP risk, with the "other functional microbiota" showing the most substantial effect. The MR analysis, utilizing large-scale genome-wide association study data, identified potential causal relationships between specific gut microbiota taxa and AP in both European and East Asian populations. Notably, specific taxa, such as Olsenella and Clostridium leptum, were associated with an increased AP risk, while Odoribacter exhibited protective effects. These findings support the potential for microbiota-targeted interventions in AP and emphasize the consistency of the association between gut dysbiosis and AP risk across diverse populations.
