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

objectiveJuvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) comprises diverse chronic inflammatory conditions driven by malfunction of the immune system. The intestinal microbiota is considered a crucial environmental factor correlating with chronic inflammatory diseases, and for JIA certain alterations in the microbiota have already been described.

methodsHere, we have characterized intestinal microbiota samples from 54 JIA patients and 38 pediatric healthy controls by conventional 16S rRNA sequencing and by single-cell analysis for phenotypic features by multi-parameter microbiota flow cytometry (mMFC), which complements the population-based taxonomic profiling with the characterization of individual bacterial cells.

resultsWe found age to be a crucial confounder in microbiota analyses of JIA patients. Age stratification revealed specific microbiota alterations neglected by the general comparison of JIA patients and pediatric controls.

conclusionAge groups presented distinct taxonomic profiles and microbiota phenotypic signatures which transitioned with age, highlighting changes in the microbiota-immune system interaction with age.
