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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are classified into two distinct types based on the area and severity of inflammation: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis. In CD, gut bacteria can infiltrate mesenteric fat, causing expansion known as creeping fat, which may limit bacterial spread and inflammation but can promote fibrosis. The gut bacteria composition varies depending on whether the colon or ileum is affected. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) transfers feces from a healthy donor to restore gut microbiota balance, often used in IBD patients to reduce inflammation and promote mucosal repair. The use of FMT for CD remains uncertain, with insufficient evidence to fully endorse it as a definitive treatment. While some studies suggest it may improve symptoms, questions about the duration of these improvements and the need for repeated treatments persist. There is a pressing need for methods that provide long-term benefits, as highlighted by Wu
