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 (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease, are chronic disorders relating to gut microbiota dysbiosis. Despite severe pancolitis being more prevalent in pediatric UC than in adults, alterations in the colon mucosa-associated microbiota (MAM) and their association with disease severity remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to compare the gut microbiota in colon lavage fluids (CLFs) and fecal samples from 19 pediatric UC and 19 non-IBD patients. The community structure of MAM inferred by 16S metagenomic analysis was similar throughout the colon regardless of disease type. Bacterial compositions between MAM and feces were significantly different in non-IBD, while no difference was observed in pediatric UC, indicating a compromised mucous layer that could not sufficiently separate the MAM and luminal microbiota in UC. In pediatric UC, homogenous distribution of MAM was gradually disordered with increases in disease activity or mucosal inflammation, and bacterial groups of upper digestive tract or environmental origin were more abundant in MAM. Monitoring key bacterial markers in MAM, which include
