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: The present study aims to explore the impact of washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) on the tongue microbiota composition of individuals with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and elucidate its biological correlations. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of hepatic fat deposition and characterized the tongue coating microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in MAFLD patients before and after undergoing WMT treatment. Furthermore, a MAFLD mouse model was established for additional validation. Results: At the genus level, significant differences in tongue coating microbiota structure were observed between MAFLD patients and HC. Specifically, Conclusions: WMT not only significantly ameliorates liver fat deposition in MAFLD patients but also alters the tongue coating microbial structure associated with disease severity, thereby potentially mitigating adverse patient outcomes.
