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

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of hospital-acquired gastrointestinal infections and a major public health burden in the United States. C. difficile infection causes a spectrum of disease from mild diarrhea to severe complications such as pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon and death. This broad range of disease is only partially explained by bacterial genetic factors, host genetics, comorbidities and previous drug exposures. Another important factor is the gut microbiome, the disruption of which results in a loss of colonization resistance to C. difficile. Here, we review how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact C. difficile virulence and influence disease.
