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: Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is a first-line therapeutic approach for inducing remission in Crohn's disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of its action remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of EEN on the gut microbiome and metabolome of CD patients and to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for EEN-induced remission. Methods: Fecal and blood samples were collected from treatment-naïve CD patients ( Results: EEN therapy induced significant structural shifts in the gut microbiome, including a reduction in the abundance of pro-inflammatory bacteria such as Conclusion: This study comprehensively integrates microbiome and metabolome analyses, providing new insights into the mechanism of action of EEN therapy in CD. EEN exerts therapeutic effects by restoring metabolic balance and enhancing the integrity of the intestinal barrier, which may be achieved by reducing pro-inflammatory bacteria and activating antioxidant and energy metabolism pathways.
