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

backgroundThis study aimed to comprehensively characterize the gut microbiome and identify individual and grouped gut microbes associated with food allergy (FA) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

methodsFecal samples were collected from children with IgE-mediated FA and from sex- and age-matched controls. The V3-V4 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene of the gut microbiome were profiled using next-generation sequencing (Illumina, USA). Bacterial species richness, intracommunity diversity, and intergroup dissimilarity were evaluated. Functional profiles were predicted using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt) and the Minimal Set of Pathways (MinPath) algorithm.

resultsFecal samples were collected from children with IgE-mediated FA (n = 66) and from sex- and age-matched controls (n = 22). Gut microbiome richness (p < 0.0001), intra-community diversity (p < 0.0001), and inter-community diversity (p = 0.0004) were higher in the healthy group than in the FA group. Patients with FA were enriched in Blautia, Fusicatenibacter, and Ruminococcus_g5 compared with healthy control individuals (all p < 0.05). Healthy control individuals were significantly enriched in Oscillibacter and Ruminococcus compared with patients with FA (all p < 0.05). Functional pathway analysis identified enrichment in pathways related to endoglucanase in healthy controls and the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport system in FA patients.

conclusionsThe gut microbiomes of patients with FA and healthy control individuals had different taxonomic abundances, and the microbiome richness and diversity of the bacterial flora of patients with FA were reduced compared with controls.
