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 coordinated post-natal development of the gut microbiome and metabolome is essential for preterm infant health, yet its disruption is increasingly linked to adverse outcomes such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In this study, we performed an integrated multiomics analysis of fecal samples collected from preterm infants to characterize temporal changes in gut microbial and metabolic profiles and explore their potential associations with BPD development. This study observed a distinct trajectory of the phylum Bacteroidota as a hallmark of normal gut maturation, with its abundance progressively declining across non-BPD infants. In contrast, infants who later developed BPD exhibited early depletion followed by irregular enrichment of Bacteroidota. Correlation analysis revealed that IMPORTANCE: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a leading cause of morbidity in preterm infants, yet early biomarkers and targeted preventive strategies are limited. By integrating microbiome and metabolome data from a pilot cohort, this study identified patterns of disrupted Bacteroidota succession and
