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

purpose of the reviewFaecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a potent form of therapeutic microbial manipulation. There is much interest in exploring its potential in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) where disturbances in the gastrointestinal microbiota play a crucial role in disease pathogenesis. RECENT

findingsThere are 4 randomized controlled trials of FMT as induction therapy in ulcerative colitis, with meta-analyses suggesting significant benefit over placebo. Allied microbial studies have identified potential microbial and metabolic predictors of therapeutic efficacy and highlighted the importance of optimizing future donor and patient selection. Recent literature has evaluated the use of complementary microbial manipulation through pre-antibiotics to improve treatment efficacy. Studies have also assessed the durability of FMT response and its use in maintenance therapy of UC. While data on FMT are more limited in Crohn's disease and pouchitis, cohort and pilot randomized controlled data a now also emerging in these areas.
