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

backgroundIn previous studies, only a subset of dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) had an increased dysbiosis index (DI) or altered fecal metabolites or both, suggesting differences in underlying intestinal pathophysiology between these subsets.

objectivesTo compare microbial functional genes and fecal metabolites between healthy dogs with DI < 0 (HC) and dogs with CE and DI > 0 (increased DI-CE) or DI < 0 (normal DI-CE). ANIMALS: Retrospective cross-sectional study including 78 HC and 138 CE dogs.

methodsFecal microbiome was assessed by DNA shotgun sequencing. Dysbiosis index was quantified by qPCR. Targeted fecal metabolites, long-chain fatty acids, sterols, bile acids (BAs), and carbohydrates were measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

resultsIn permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA), functional gene profiles showed larger shifts in increased DI-CE (median R

conclusionsResults indicate differences in fecal microbial gene profiles and metabolome in increased DI-CE versus normal DI-CE and HC, suggesting dogs with an increased DI have more severe intestinal changes in metabolic functions.
