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

backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease. The gut microbiome undergoes significant changes in UC. Fatigue is a highly prevalent and debilitating extraintestinal symptom of UC, which negatively affects quality of life. However, its relationship with gut microbes and metabolites remains unclear.

aimTo assess the gut microbiota and metabolomic characteristics of patients with UC with fatigue (HUCF).

methodsA total of 120 participants were recruited and divided into four groups (

resultsMetabolomic analysis revealed significant differences among the four groups (principal component analysis/partial least squares discriminant analysis,

conclusionPatients with HUCF exhibit a distinct gut microbial structure and metabolomic profile. The pro-inflammatory metabolite TX and the genus Anaerococcus are uniquely enriched in patients with HUCF, suggesting their potential roles in the development of HUCF. These findings provide novel insights and a theoretical basis for improving the clinical management of HUCF.
