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

Background: The digestive tract hosts a variety of microorganisms. These microorganisms " Objectives: The goals of this pilot study were to evaluate the safety and impact of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) for dogs suffering from non-infectious digestive disorders. Animals: Seven client-owned adult dogs with idiopathic persistent diarrhea (>3 weeks) and very poor skin-coat conditions received the intervention (FMT) and were evaluated in a private veterinary clinic. Methods: Transplants have been taken from healthy donors and were administered rectally to recipients. Objective clinical examinations with analyses of blood and feces samples on day 0 (pre-FMT) and days 14-28 (post-FMT) were performed. Besides the conventional blood hematology and biochemistry analyses, 16S Results: No FMT-related complications occurred. Five of seven (71%) patients demonstrated improved fecal parameters associated with better overall clinical outcome, whereas four of the five (80%) recovered recipients showed molecular correlation with the donor gut microbiota after rectal FMT. There were insignificant changes shown for the conventionally analyzed blood samples. The serum cobalamin levels showed a tendency to increase in recovered recipients. Conclusion: FMT was easy to apply and displayed certain health benefits in this study. Our findings reveal the important role of a
