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

Vaccine responses vary across populations and are influenced by numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including the gut microbiota. However, studies linking microbiota composition to vaccine immunogenicity in low- and middle-income countries are sparse. In this study, we examined the gut microbiota of 143 healthy rural and urban living Tanzanians who participated in a yellow fever vaccine (YF-17D) trial. We found significant differences in gut microbiota profiles between rural and urban participants. Rural-associated microbiota showed higher diversity and enrichment of taxa like Prevotella and Succinivibrio, which were linked to dietary intake patterns. Yellow fever neutralizing antibody titers were higher in rural compared to urban participants. Interestingly, a subset of urban individuals with a rural-like microbiota had higher antibody titers and faster antibody waning than those with a more industrialized microbiota. These findings suggest that gut microbiota composition might be linked to vaccine immunogenicity, potentially outweighing the influence of living location.
