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

Low consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables has been identified as dietary risks for non-communicable diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). We explore how individual and lifestyle factors influence these risks by shaping gut microbiome composition. 1001 healthy participants from all Spanish regions provided personal and dietary data at baseline, six, and twelve months, yielding 2475 responses. Gut microbiome data were analyzed for 500 healthy participants and 321 IBD patients. Our findings reveal that adherence to national dietary guidelines-characterized by diets rich in nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables-was associated with greater microbial diversity and reduced IBD-related dysbiosis. Finally, we observed variations in dietary patterns and microbiome diversity and composition across age groups, genders, regions, seasons, and transit time. This study is among the first to uncover dietary intake associated with IBD-related dysbiosis and to propose an interactive website for participants ( https://manichanh.vhir.org/POP/en ).
