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

Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at an increased risk of developing Materials and Methods: This study included 89 patients: 30 healthy controls (HC group), 29 with UC alone (UCN group), and 30 with UC and CDI (UCP group). None of the participants has been exposed to antibiotic treatments during the 3 months before stool collection. Stool samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the V3-V4 region and gas chromatography tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: The UCN group displayed lower diversity and richness in gut microbiota and a higher relative abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria than the HC group. There were no significant differences between the UCN and UCP groups in the α-diversity indices. The UCP group contained a higher relative abundance of the genera Conclusion: Our study identified 11 differential genera and 16 perturbed metabolites in patients with UC and CDI compared to those with UC alone. These findings may guide the design of research on potential mechanisms and specific treatments for CDI in patients with UC.
