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

Current first-line treatments of paediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) maintain a 6-month remission in only half of the patients. Relapse prediction at diagnosis could enable earlier introduction of immunosuppressants. We collected intestinal biopsies from 56 treatment-naïve children, combining mucosal quantitative microbial profiling with host epigenomics, transcriptomics, genotyping, and in vitro and in vivo experiments on selected bacteria. Baseline bacterial diversity is lower in relapsing children, who have fewer butyrate producers but more oral-associated bacteria, whereof Veillonella parvula induces inflammation in epithelial cell lines and IL10
