Article in Infection, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07509346 (Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Versus Standard Treatment in Patients With Recurrent Non-Obstructive Acute Cholangitis - COLANBIOTA Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeWe report on a kidney transplant recipient treated with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for recurrent urinary tract infections.

methodsFMT was administered via frozen capsulized microbiota. Before and after FMT, urinary, fecal and vaginal microbiota compositions were analyzed.

resultsThe patient remained without symptoms after FMT.

conclusionsUnderlying mechanisms of action need to be addressed in depth by future research.
