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

Early-life brain injuries are major causes of long-term neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy. Emerging evidence suggests these injuries can alter the gut microbiota composition, intestinal integrity, and neuroinflammatory responses. This systematic review evaluated the impact of early-life brain injuries on the gut microbiota in rodent models. A scientific literature search was conducted across Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. Initially, 7419 records were identified, and 21 eligible studies were included. Eligible studies focused on evaluating the microbiota alterations and related gut-brain axis markers at the neonatal or post-weaning stages. The data extraction and synthesis followed PRISMA guidelines. Most studies reported gut dysbiosis characterized by a decreased abundance of Bacteroidetes, and
