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 microbiome is the metagenome of all microbes that live on and within every individual, and evidence for its role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases has been increasing over the past several decades. While there are various causes of sepsis, defined as the abnormal host response to infection, the host microbiome may provide a unifying explanation for discrepancies that are seen in septic patient survival based on age, sex, and other confounding factors. As has been the case for other human diseases, evidence exists for the microbiome to control patient outcomes after sepsis. In this review, associative data for the microbiome and sepsis survival are presented with causative mechanisms that may be at play. Finally, clinical trials to manipulate the microbiome in order to improve patient outcomes after sepsis are presented as well as areas of potential future research in order to aid in the clinical treatment of these patients.
