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

backgroundProtracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is a chronic purulent bronchitis which could cause recurrent coughing and wheezing in infants. Based on previous reports, main pathogens which caused PBB were identified in the patients, but their impacts on lung microbiota dysbiosis remain unclear.

methodsIn this study, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected from PBB infants and tracheomalacia (TM) infants younger than 3 years old under the instruction of Shenzhen Children's Hospital, and 12 samples were randomly selected for 16S rDNA analysis in each group. Based on the results of bacterial composition, the microbiota diversity and co-occurrence network in PBB and TM group were detected and compared.

resultsMicrobiota diversity was significantly lower in PBB group than it in TM group (P<0.001 for the comparison of Shannon and Simpson indexes). The PBB group was found to harbor 25 accumulated bacterial agents by comparison with TM group, including

conclusionsPBB infants contained discrepant lung genera and co-occurrence network when compared with TM infants. This retrospective study may deepen our understanding of PBB pathogenesis, and it also provided a foundation for bacterial adjunctive therapy of infantile PBB in accordance with clinical treatment.
