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

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), show an increased incidence of anxiety and depression; however, the association between UC-associated psychiatric disorders and the gut microbiota is unclear. This study aimed to examine whether gut microbiota from patients with UC can alter colonic gene expression, leading to anxiety- and depression-like behavior in mice receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). RNA sequencing transcriptome analyses revealed a difference in colonic gene expression between mice receiving FMT from patients with UC (UC-FMT mice) and those receiving FMT from healthy controls (HC-FMT mice). Gene ontology analysis revealed the downregulation of neuropeptide signaling pathways, including neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression, in the colons of UC-FMT mice. The protein levels of NPY also decreased in the colon and plasma of UC-FMT mice compared to those in HC-FMT mice. The oral administration of
