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

The gut microbiome has far-reaching effects on host organism health, so understanding the processes that underlie microbial community assembly in the developing gut is a current research priority. Here, a holothurian (also known as sea cucumber; phylum Echinodermata) host is explored as a promising model system for studying the assembly of the gut microbiome. Holothurians have a unique capacity for evisceration (expulsion of the internal organs), followed by rapid regeneration of the gut, decoupling host ontogeny from gut tissue development and permitting experimental manipulation of the gut microbiome in mature host individuals. Here, evisceration was induced in the sea cucumber
