Long-term dysbiosis and fluctuations of gut microbiome in antibiotic treated preterm infants.
Article in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Postnatal acquisition of the microbiome is critical to infant health. In preterm infants, empiric use of antibiotics is common, with significant health consequences. To understand the influence of antibiotics on acquisition of the microbiome over time, we longitudinally profiled microbial 16S rRNA in the stool of 79 preterm infants during their hospitalization in the intensive care unit and compared antibiotic treated and untreated infants. Despite similar clinical presentation, antibiotic treated infants had strong deviations in the content, diversity, and most dramatically, temporal stability of their microbiome. Dysbiosis and fluctuations of microbiome content persisted long after antibiotic exposure, up to hospital discharge. Microbiome diversity was dominated by a few common bacteria consistent among all infants. Our findings may inform clinical practice related to antibiotic use and targeted microbial interventions aimed at overcoming the adverse influence of antibiotics on the microbiome of preterm infants at specific developmental time points.
