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

Emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the gut microbiota may play a significant role in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly during childhood, when the immune and metabolic systems are still maturing. This systematic review aims to synthesize recent findings on the composition, diversity, and functional characteristics of gut microbiota in children with T1DM. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for studies published between January 2019 and July 2025. Eligible studies included observational studies examining the gut microbiota in children with T1DM using validated sequencing methods. Six studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed for microbial composition, diversity, and associated immune and metabolic alterations. Most studies reported reduced microbial diversity and depletion of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, such as
