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

Current inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatments including non-biological, biological, and nutritional therapies aim to achieve remission and mucosal healing. Treatment efficacy, however, is highly variable, and there is growing evidence that the gut microbiota influences therapeutic efficacy. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to define changes in the gut microbiota following IBD treatment and to identify microbial predictors of treatment response. A systematic search using MEDLINE/Embase and PubMed was performed in July 2022. The review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies were included if they reported longitudinal microbiota analysis (>2 weeks) using next-generation sequencing or high-throughput sequencing of faecal/mucosal samples from IBD patients commencing treatment. Meta-analysis on alpha-diversity changes following infliximab treatment was conducted. Thirty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria, and four studies were included in the meta-analysis. An increase in alpha diversity was observed following treatment with 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and biological therapies in most studies. Characteristic signatures involving the enrichment of short-chain-fatty-acid-producing bacteria including
