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

There is a lack of empirical, prospective human data on the gut microbiome and its relationship with growth, especially in low- and middle-income countries. We prospectively assessed the association between gut microbial diversity and short-term growth in a cohort of preschool children in Burkina Faso to better characterize whether there is any evidence that changes in gut microbial diversity may affect growth. Data were obtained from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of antibiotic administration on gut microbial diversity in preschool children. We followed up the enrolled children for 35 days, with anthropometric measurements at baseline and day 35 and microbial diversity measured at baseline and day 9 (analytic sample,
