Oral nonabsorbable antibiotics for prevention of recurrent cholangitis; a brief report study.
Article in Infection, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07509346 (Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Versus Standard Treatment in Patients With Recurrent Non-Obstructive Acute Cholangitis - COLANBIOTA Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with recurrent cholangitis are at risk of developing life-threatening sepsis. Selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) involving oral nonabsorbable antibiotics has been primarily applied to children undergoing Kasai portoenterostomy surgery.
methodsIn this study, SDD containing colistin, tobramycin, and nystatin was administered to eight patients with recurrent cholangitis, and the incidence density before and after SDD administration was analyzed.
resultsThe overall incidence density of cholangitis requiring hospital admission was 0.37 per 100 patient days during the SDD period and was significantly lower than observed before SDD administration (1.05 per 100 patient days) [RR: 0.35 (95% CI: 0.21-0.59); p: <0.001, two-sided]. This was not associated with an increased risk of resistance during SDD administration.
conclusionIn this study SDD reduced by 65% the frequency and severity of recurrent cholangitis. In addition, this procedure is patient-friendly and microbiologically safe.
