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

Gut microbiota plays a significant role in nutrient extraction, metabolism, and immune function. Thus, the growing number of microbiome studies seek to link the presence and prevalence of specific bacteria, fungi, and viruses with a variety of physiological and disease outcomes. However, recruiting a diverse group of patients has been a challenge. Poor hearing and vision, lack of transportation, cognitive impairment, and a non-English primary language may interfere with patient enrollment as well as adherence to the requirements of a Microbiome study. Much of what we do know about diseases in older adults comes from studies that exclude many of these patients commonly encountered in clinical practice. The purpose of this review article is to highlight recruitment and retention strategies for engaging people who typically do not participate in microbiome studies, and it seeks to develop and explicate inclusion and exclusion criteria to promote more robust study results.
