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

Introduction: Methamphetamine (METH) addiction is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by severe abstinence symptoms and high relapse rates, yet the temporal dynamics of gut microbiota alterations across addiction and abstinence phases remain poorly understood. Methods: In this study, we performed a longitudinal microbiome analysis to characterize differences between phases and time-dependent remodeling of the gut microbiota in a mouse model. Fecal samples were collected at defined time points across a 60-day addiction phase followed by a 60-day abstinence phase and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Distinct microbial compositions, diversity and community structure differences were observed between addiction and abstinence phases. Microbial communities during the addiction phase exhibited greater dispersion, whereas progressive stabilization was observed during abstinence. Time-series analyses revealed characteristic alterations in Discussion: These findings identify reproducible temporal changes in gut microbiota across addiction and abstinence and highlight candidate microbial signatures for understanding addiction progression and distinguishing different phases.
