Fecal microbiota transplantation in capsules for the treatment of steroid refractory and steroid dependent acute graft vs. host disease: a pilot study.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a serious complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with limited treatment options. The gut microbiome plays a critical role in aGvHD pathogenesis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach to restore gut microbial diversity. In this prospective pilot study, 21 patients with steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent lower gastrointestinal aGvHD received FMT in capsule form. At 28 days after the first FMT, the overall response rate was 52.4%, with 23.8% complete and 28.6% partial responses. However, sustained responses were infrequent, with only one patient remaining aGvHD-free long-term. FMT was generally well-tolerated. Microbiome analysis revealed dysbiosis in pre-FMT patient stool samples, with distinct microbial characteristics compared to donors. Following FMT, there was an increase in beneficial Clostridiales and a decrease in pathogenic Enterobacteriales. These findings highlight the potential of FMT as a treatment option for steroid-resistant aGvHD. Trial registration number NCT #03214289.
