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 gut microbiota contribute to the etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but limitations of prior studies include the use of sequencing alone (restricting exploration of the contribution of microbiota functionality) and the recruitment of patients with well-established disease (introducing potential confounders, such as immunomodulatory medication). Here, we analyze a true IBD inception cohort and healthy controls (HCs) via stool 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multi-system metabolomic phenotyping (using nuclear magnetic spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy), with subsequent integrative network analysis employed to delineate novel microbiota-metabolome interactions in IBD. Marked differences in β diversity and taxonomic profiles were observed both between IBD and HCs, as well as between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Multiple between-group metabolomic differences were also observed, particularly with regard to tryptophan-/indole-related metabolites; for example, UC patients had higher levels of serum metabolites including xanthurenic acid (
