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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe gut-brain axis and systemic metabolic dysregulation are increasingly implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. This study aimed to characterize gut microbiota and plasma metabolomic profiles associated with amyloid pathology and cognitive impairment in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

methodsA cross-sectional multi-omics baseline analysis was performed in 47 MCI patients enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, crossover dietary intervention trial (NCT05029765). Gut microbiota composition was assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing (

resultsHigher amyloid burden and worse cognitive performance were associated with significant gut microbiota alterations, including increased alpha diversity and distinct beta diversity profiles. Differential abundance analyses consistently showed enrichment of

conclusionsMCI patients with greater amyloid pathology and cognitive impairment exhibited gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, metabolic associations were observed only for BA42/40, but not for ADAScog11. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for evaluating the impact of Mediterranean diet and probiotic interventions in the longitudinal phase of the trial.
