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

Disruptions of the composition of the gut microbiome are linked to impaired bone tissue strength. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established clinical therapy that can restore a healthy gut microbiome and reduce systemic inflammation. However, whether FMT from a healthy donor could rescue bone fragility is unknown. As induced inflammation causes mineralization defects, we hypothesize that manipulations of the gut microbiota alter bone fracture resilience through changes in mineral quality. Here, we altered the compositions of the gut microbiome in mice via antibiotics (ampicillin and neomycin) and FMT. Mice were allocated to 5 groups (M/F,
