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

Gut dysbiosis, defined as a maladaptive gut microbial imbalance, has been demonstrated in patients with end-stage liver disease, defined as a contributor to disease progression, and associated clinically with severity of disease and liver-related morbidity and mortality. Despite this well-recognized phenomena in patients with end-stage liver disease, the impact of gut dysbiosis and its rate of recovery following liver transplantation (LT) remains incompletely understood. The mechanisms by which alterations in the gut microbiota impact allograft metabolism and immunity, both directly and indirectly, are multifactorial and reflect the complexity of the gut-liver axis. Importantly, while research has largely focused on quantitative and qualitative changes in gut microbial composition, changes in microbial functionality (in the presence or absence of compositional changes) are of critical importance. Therefore, to translate functional microbiomics into clinical practice, one must understand not only the compositional but also the functional changes associated with gut dysbiosis and its resolution post-LT. In this review, we will summarize critical advances in functional microbiomics in LT recipients as they apply to immune-mediated allograft injury, posttransplant complications, and disease recurrence, while highlighting potential areas for microbial-based therapeutics in LT recipients.
