Stool Toxin Concentration Does Not Distinguish Clostridioides difficile Infection from Colonization in Children Less Than 3 Years of Age.
Article in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
In a prospective cohort study, stools from children <3 years with and without diarrhea who were Clostridioides difficile nucleic acid amplification test-positive underwent ultrasensitive and quantitative toxin measurement. Among 37 cases and 46 controls, toxin concentration distributions overlapped substantially. Toxin concentration alone does not distinguish C. difficile infection from colonization in young children.
