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

The infant gut microbiome is essential for long-term health and is linked to atopic dermatitis (AD), although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study investigated gut microbiome-host interactions in 31 infants with AD and 29 healthy controls using multi-omics approaches, including metagenomic, host transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses. Microbial diversity was significantly altered in AD, with Bifidobacterium longum and Clostridium innocuum associated with these changes. At the strain-level, only B. longum differed significantly between groups, with pangenome analyses identifying genetic variations potentially affecting amino acid and lipid metabolites. Notably, B. longum subclade I, which was more prevalent in healthy controls, correlated with host transcriptomic pathways involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT signaling and neuroactive ligand-receptor pathways, as well as specific metabolites, including tetrahydrocortisol and ornithine. These findings highlight the role of B. longum strain-level variation in infants, offering new insights into microbiome-host interactions related to AD.
