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

Background: The coexistence of allergic rhinitis (AR) and functional constipation (FC) in children reflects complex gut-immune interactions; however, the contribution of microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to immune-metabolic dysregulation remains poorly defined. Methods: Fecal microbiota from 57 AR-FC children (aged 0-6 years) and 59 age-matched healthy controls (HC) were profiled using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and functional pathways were inferred via PICRUSt2. A subset of 13 preschoolers (aged 3-7 years) underwent a 3-month synbiotic intervention (multi-strain probiotics combined with dietary fiber), with paired pre- and post-treatment samples analyzed. Results: AR-FC subjects exhibited reduced α- diversity ( Conclusion: Gut dysbiosis in AR-FC comorbidity is associated with disruption of the microbiota-SCFA-immune axis, which may correlate with mucosal barrier defects and a potential bias toward T helper 2 (Th2) polarization. Although synbiotic therapy induced taxonomic shifts and improved gastrointestinal function, our findings highlight the need for strain-specific formulations to achieve comprehensive immune and intestinal restoration.
