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

purposeBacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in bacteria-host interactions. Due to their cargo, EVs are considered fingerprints of the parent cell, which are detectable in body fluids. We studied the composition and function of bacterial microbiota-derived EVs genes in urine to evaluate whether they have specific characteristics concerning allergic airway disease.

methodsSubjects were from elementary school surveys and classified into 3 groups according to questionnaires and sensitization to aeroallergens: the allergic airway group (AA, n = 16), atopic controls (AC, n = 7) and healthy controls (HC, n = 26). The bacterial EVs were isolated from voided urine samples, their nucleic acid was extracted for 16S ribosomal RNA pyrosequencing and then characterized using α-diversity, β-diversity, network analysis, intergroup comparison of bacterial composition and predicted functions, and correlation with total immunoglobulin E (IgE), eosinophils% and fractional exhaled NO.

resultsThe compositional α-diversity was the highest in AA, while functional α-diversity was the highest in HC. AA had a distinct clustering with the least intersample variation.

conclusionsThe bacterial microbiota-derived EVs in urine possess characteristic features in allergic airway disease with a remarkable correlation with total IgE and eosinophil%. These findings suggest that they may play important roles in allergic airway diseases.
