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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons. While there has been significant progress in defining the genetic contributions to ALS, greater than 90 ​% of cases are sporadic, which suggests an environmental component. The gut microbiota is altered in ALS and is an ecological factor that contributes to disease by modulating immunologic, metabolic, and neuronal signaling. Depleting the microbiome worsens disease in the SOD1 ALS animal model, while it ameliorates disease in the C9orf72 model of ALS, indicating critical subtype-specific interactions. Furthermore, administering beneficial microbiota or microbial metabolites can slow disease progression in animal models. This review discusses the current state of microbiome research in ALS, including interactions with different ALS subtypes, evidence in animal models and human studies, key immunologic and metabolomic mediators, and a path toward microbiome-based therapies for ALS.
