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

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging therapeutic strategy with potential applications in the treatment of various diseases, particularly those associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis. However, clinical trials have demonstrated considerable variability in FMT efficacy-even among patients with the same disease. The heterogeneity of gut microbiota from donors is considered a key factor influencing patient outcomes. Consequently, the development of donor-recipient matching models has emerged as an advanced approach to enhance the effectiveness of FMT. As a practical clinical intervention, the therapeutic impact of FMT on specific diseases requires further investigation. This article reviews the development of donors and the matching patterns between donors and recipients, and summarizes the key factors influencing the transfer of the microbiota. It provides new insights for exploring novel and effective donor-recipient matching patterns.
