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 infant gut microbiome undergoes a crucial transformation when solid foods enter the diet during weaning. This introduction normally happens at about six months post-birth and leads to major shifts in the gut microbiome. Many of the changes that occur during this period are known to persist into adulthood. While many perinatal factors, including gestational age, delivery mode, feeding choices, and antibiotic exposure, strongly influence microbiome composition and functional trajectories, the effects of weaning, in particular, have received far less attention. This review examines the response of the microbiome ecosystem when the diet is radically altered through the introduction of solid foods during the weaning phase. This response involves major reshaping of anabolic and catabolic functioning, along with changes in bacterial taxa and increased diversity. The information presented in this review aims to fill existing knowledge gaps while advancing our comprehension of how the infant diet shapes gut microbiome development through childhood.
