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

Exposed surfaces of mammals are colonized with 100 trillion indigenous bacteria, fungi, and viruses, creating a diverse ecosystem known as the microbiome. The gastrointestinal tract harbors the greatest numbers of these microorganisms, which regulate human nutrition, metabolism, and immune system function. Moreover, the intestinal microbiota contains pro- and anti-inflammatory products that modulate immune responses and may play a role in maintaining gut barrier function. Therefore, the community composition of the microbiota has profound effects on the immune status of the host and impacts the development and/or progression of inflammatory diseases. Accordingly, numerous studies have shown differences in the microbiota of patients with and without a given inflammatory condition. There is now strong evidence that the gut microbiome regulates bone homeostasis in health and disease, and that prebiotic and probiotics protect against bone loss. Herein, the evidence supporting the role of the microbiota and the effects of prebiotic and probiotics will be reviewed.
