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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most common and difficult-to-treat inflammatory diseases Currently, the standard of care includes immunological modulation and anti-inflammatory medication to alleviate symptoms; however, these treatments are associated with several side effects. As a result, developing novel, safe, and effective treatment strategies is crucial. The gut microbiota and its influence on the onset and progression of UC through their regulation of immunity, barrier integrity, and homeostasis, serves as a promising target for UC therapy. In this review, we explore the pathological changes that take place in UC along with the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in disease progression and modulation. Additionally, we offer a thorough description of novel UC treatment approaches that focus on altering the gut microbiota and its metabolites. These protocols include FMT, probiotics, prebiotics, and micro/nanoparticles. The ultimate goal is to offer a theoretical basis for the advancement of innovative therapeutic strategies for UC.
