Maternal Gut Microbiome Biodiversity in Pregnancy.
Article in American journal of perinatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo measure maternal gut microbiome biodiversity in pregnancy. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn phase 1, maternal fecal samples were collected by rectal swab in 20 healthy pregnant women (14-28 weeks gestation) to measure bacterial abundance. In phase 2, fecal samples were collected from 31 women at enrollment (<20 weeks gestation, baseline) and at 36 to 39 weeks of gestation (follow-up). We assessed cluster analysis to assess bacterial community profiles at the phylum level longitudinally through pregnancy. DNA was extracted from swabs, followed by PCR of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and multiplex high-throughput sequencing (Ion Torrent).
resultsIn phase 1, 16 of 20 samples yielded usable data. White women (
conclusionMaternal microbiome biodiversity changes as pregnancy progresses and correlates with GWG.
