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

backgroundEmerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota plays a predominant role in Crohn's disease (CD). However, the microbiome alterations in the early stage of CD patients still remain unclear. The present study aimed to identify dysbacteriosis in patients with early CD and explore specific gut bacteria related to the progression of CD.

methodsThis study was nested within a longitudinal prospective Chinese CD cohort, and it included 18 early CD patients, 22 advanced CD patients and 30 healthy controls. The microbiota communities were investigated using high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing targeting the V3-V4 region of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene. The relationship between the gut microbiota and clinical characteristics of CD was analyzed.

resultsDifferential microbiota compositions were observed in CD samples (including early and advanced CD samples) and healthy controls samples. Notably, Lachnospiracea_incertae_sedis and Parabacteroides were enriched in the early CD patients, Escherichia/Shigella, Enterococcus and Proteus were enriched in the advanced CD patients, and Roseburia, Gemmiger, Coprococcus, Ruminococcus 2, Butyricicoccus, Dorea, Fusicatenibacter, Anaerostipes, Clostridium IV were enriched in the healthy controls [LDA score (log10) > 2]. Furthermore, Kruskal-Wallis Rank sum test results showed that Blautia, Clostridium IV, Coprococcus, Dorea, Fusicatenibacter continued to significantly decrease in early and advanced CD patients, and Escherichia/Shigella and Proteus continued to significantly increase compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05). The PICRUSt analysis identified 16 remarkably different metabolic pathways [LDA score (log10) > 2]. Some genera were significantly correlated with various clinical parameters, such as fecal calprotectin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, gland reduce, goblet cells decreased, clinical symptoms (P < 0.05).

conclusionsDysbacteriosis occurs in the early stage of CD and is associated with the progression of CD. This data provides a foundation that furthers the understanding of the role of gut microbiota in CD's pathogenesis.
