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

Variation in the microbiome among individual organisms may play a critical role in the relative susceptibility of those organisms to infection, disease, and death. However, predicting microbiome function is difficult because of spatial and temporal variation in microbial diversity, and taxonomic diversity is not predictive of microbiome functional diversity. Addressing this issue may be particularly important when addressing pandemic diseases, such as the global amphibian die-off associated with
