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 dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM), which reflects microbiota diversity, has not yet been linked to lung cancer. To explore this, we analyzed the relationship between DI-GM and lung cancer using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. This analysis used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007 to 2018. We assessed multicollinearity among the independent variables with variance inflation factors, then performed weighted logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and applied a restricted cubic spline model to explore the relationship between DI-GM and lung cancer. The study included 22,473 adults aged 20 and older. The adjusted findings indicated that a higher DI-GM was associated with a reduced likelihood of lung cancer. variance inflation factors confirmed the absence of multicollinearity. After adjusting for potential confounders, participants with the highest DI-GM had a 72% lower risk of developing lung cancer compared to those with the lowest scores (OR = 0.28; 95% CI: 0.09-0.84, P = .02). A linear negative correlation was observed between DI-GM and the risk of lung cancer. This cross-sectional investigation revealed a negative relationship between the DI-GM and the likelihood of lung cancer.
