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 disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that includes two main types, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), involving inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The exact cause of IBD is unknown but could be a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. This study investigated the impact of IBD on microbiota diversity by evaluating the differences in microbial composition and the microbiota of a control group (A) of healthy individuals and a group (B) of IBD patients. Sixty biopsies were collected from participants recruited from hospitals in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Biopsy specimens were taken during colonoscopy examination, and bacterial identification was performed by extracting ribosomal DNA from sigmoid colon biopsies using a DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit. Metagenomics and bioinformatics analyses were then conducted to analyze and compare the microbiota in the two groups. The results showed that the varieties of core microbiome species were 3.81% greater in the IBD patients than in the members of the control group. Furthermore, the differences between the groups were significantly greater than the variations within each group. Differences between the two groups were detected in the relative abundance of
