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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by central nervous system atrophy. Microbiota dysbiosis is implicated in MS pathogenesis and treatment outcomes. In our study, we observed microbiota changes already present in treatment-naïve individuals with clinically isolated syndrome, affecting both bacteria and viruses. Gut bacteria alterations were transient during the first 12 months of anti-CD20 therapy. After 12 months, responders showed increased gut microbiota alpha diversity approaching healthy control levels, while non-responders showed a significant decline. Key changes involved
