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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) currently lacks effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Disruptions in the gut ecosystem have been observed in individuals with ASD, suggesting that targeting gut microbiota through probiotic and dietary supplementation may serve as a potential treatment strategy. This two-phase study aimed to characterize the fecal metagenome of children with ASD and investigate the beneficial effects of a combined probiotic and medium-carbohydrate intervention in ASD. Fecal metagenomes of children with ASD were compared to those of typically developing children, revealing intestinal dysbiosis in ASD, characterized by reduced levels of
