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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the human colon. Dysbiotic gut microbiota play a central role in its pathogenesis, and alterations in microbial composition and function are closely linked to disease activity. Humanized gnotobiotic mice are increasingly used to study how dysbiotic, human-derived microbial communities shape intestinal inflammation. However, the fidelity of microbiota engraftment and its impact on host physiology and metabolism remain incompletely understood. In this study, we performed a multiomics analysis following fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) from eight patients with active UC into germ-free C57BL/6N mice (five mice per donor). The mice were monitored over three weeks. Longitudinal analysis of microbial communities was performed using 16S rRNA (bacteria) and ITS2 (fungi) amplicon sequencing. Microbial metabolic flux was inferred via genome-scale metabolic modeling, and plasma metabolites were assessed by targeted metabolomics. We observed donor-specific physiological changes in recipient mice, including variations in body weight and adipose tissue. Spontaneous colonic inflammation occurred in one group and was subsequently linked to unintended transfer of
