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

abstractPediatric health is the foundation for people's lifelong health. The co-evolution of host genetics and the gut microbiome fosters a symbiotic relationship that is important for pediatric growth and the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, a comprehensive overview of the human genetics-gut microbiome axis in pediatric diseases remains unavailable. This review summarizes the human genetic variants that are associated with pediatric diseases, affecting the nervous, respiratory, and immune systems, as well as those linked to preterm birth (PTB), as identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). As the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in pediatric health, we have systematically discussed microbial biomarkers associated with the onset and progression of pediatric diseases, with an emphasis on their clinical impact across four key axes: the gut-brain, gut-lung, gut-skin, and gut-immune axes. The GWAS on the gut microbiome revealed numerous genetic variants that intricately regulate its composition. These variants predispose individuals to gut microbiome dysbiosis, potentially initiating or exacerbating pediatric disease manifestations. Moreover, the underrepresentation of populations from low- and middle-income countries in existing microbiome-related data, coupled with technical challenges, limits our understanding of the association between microbiome and health. Finally, we emphasize the promising potential of elucidating and modulating host gene-gut microbiome interactions to offer novel insights for advancing precision pediatric medicine and developing innovative therapeutic strategies.
