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 native microbiome influences numerous host processes, including neurological function. However, its impacts on diverse brain cell types remain poorly understood. Here, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing on the hippocampus of wild-type, germ-free mice, revealing the microbiome-dependent transcriptional landscape across all major neural cell types. We found conserved impacts on key adaptive immune and neurodegenerative transcriptional pathways. Mono-colonization with select indigenous microbes identified organism-specific effects on brain myeloid cell transcriptional state. Escherichia coli colonization induced a distinct myeloid cell activation state, increased brain-resident CD8
