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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, driven by complex interactions among atherosclerosis, inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation. Recent studies have identified the gut and oral microbiomes-through their metabolism of dietary precursors into trimethylamine (TMA) and its hepatic conversion to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-as pivotal contributors to CVD risk. In parallel, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of inflammatory and metabolic pathways that further modulate these processes. This review examines recent human studies (2020-2025) to explore how microbiota-derived TMAO, miRNA regulatory networks, and changes in the oral microbiome contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. It also highlights potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways, providing insights for precision medicine in cardiovascular disease management.
