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

objectiveThe gut microbiome plays a key role in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Here we investigate the individual contribution of the pre- and post-transplant gut microbiome to acute GVHD using a well-studied mouse model.

designWild-type mice were cohoused with IL-17RA

resultsPriming wild-type mice via cohousing pre-transplant only is insufficient to accelerate GVHD, however, accelerated disease is observed in WT mice cohoused post-transplant only. When mice are cohoused continuously, the effect of priming and exacerbation is additive, resulting in a greater acceleration of disease in WT mice beyond that seen with cohousing post-transplant only. Metagenomic analysis of the microbiome revealed pre-transplant cohousing is associated with the transfer of specific species within two as-yet-uncultured genera of the bacterial family

conclusionThese results clarify the importance of the peri-transplant microbiome in the susceptibility to acute GVHD post-transplant and demonstrate the species-specific nature of this association.
