Identification of disease-specific gut microbial markers in vitiligo.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There is a potential correlation between vitiligo and gut microbiota, although research in this area is currently limited. The research employed high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA to examine the gut microbiome in the stool samples of 49 individuals with vitiligo and 49 without the condition. The study encompassed four comparison groups: (1) DI (disease) group vs. HC (healthy control) group; (2) DI_m group (disease group of minors) vs. HC_m group (healthy control group of minors); (3) DI_a group (adult disease group) vs. HC_a group (adult healthy control group); (4) DI_m group vs. DI_a group. Research findings have indicated the presence of spatial heterogeneity in the gut microbiota composition between individuals with vitiligo and healthy controls. A significant reduction in gut microbiota diversity has been observed in vitiligo patients across both minors and adult groups. However, variations have been noted in the composition of disease-related differential microbial markers among different age groups. Specifically,
