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

Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that colonizes the gut and causes diarrhea, colitis, and severe inflammation. Recently, C. difficile has been shown to use toxin-mediated inflammation to promote host collagen degradation, which releases several amino acids into the environment. Amino acids act as electron donors and acceptors in Stickland metabolism, an anaerobic process involving redox reactions between pairs of amino acids. Proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline are the three main constituents of collagen and are assumed to act as electron acceptors, but their exact effects on the growth and physiology of C. difficile are still unclear. Using three standard culture media (supplemented brain heart infusion [BHIS], tryptone-yeast [TY], and
