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: There are two subtypes of infantile cholestasis (IC): high-γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and low-GGT (LG) cholestasis. This study aims to investigate the differences in the gut microbiota between infants with cholestasis and healthy infants and the correlations between the gut microbiota and blood or urine metabolites associated with high-GGT (HG) and LG IC subtypes. Methods: A total of 37 infants were recruited into the cholestasis (Cho) group, including 21 infants with HG and 16 infants with LG levels, with 23 infants included in the control (Con) group. The gut microbiota composition was comprehensively analyzed, as were blood and urine metabolites, clinical indicators, and their correlations. The study was registered in both the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2300072387) and the National Medical Research Registration & Filing Information System (www.medicalresearch.org.cn, MR-35-24-056613). Results: The Conclusions: Infants with cholestasis exhibit gut microbiota dysbiosis. Notably, distinct differences in the microbiota profiles were observed between the HG and LG cholestasis groups.
