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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are complex immune disorders that arise at the intersection of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Our understanding of the role of the microbiome in IBD has greatly expanded over the past few decades, although efforts to translate this knowledge into precision microbiome-based interventions for the prevention and management of disease have thus far met limited success. Here we survey and synthesize recent primary research in order to propose an updated conceptual framework for the role of the microbiome in IBD. We argue that accounting for gut microbiome context - elements such disease regionality, phase of disease, diet, medication use, and patient lifestyle - is essential for the development of a clear and mechanistic understanding of the microbiome's contribution to pathogenesis or health. Armed with better mechanistic and contextual understanding, we will be better prepared to translate this knowledge into effective and precise strategies for microbiome restitution.
