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

While it has previously been shown that early life gut microbiome imbalance is associated with the later development of atopic dermatitis (AD) in full term infants, to our knowledge no similar studies have been conducted in infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This is an important research gap to address because a) infants in the NICU are at an increased risk for gut microbiome dysbiosis due to several clinical and environmental factors including frequent antimicrobial exposure; and b) their risk of developing AD may be different from full term infants. We demonstrate gut microbiome dysbiosis and clinical factors impacting the microbiome associated with later development of AD that are unique to infants in the NICU. These may represent early predictors of AD development and potential therapeutic targets to mitigate future disease.
