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

Objective: We hypothesized that intestinal barrier impairment is a key pathophysiological feature in AD and that the degree of baseline barrier dysfunction, reflected by serum D-lactate levels, predicts the clinical response to Washed Microbiota Transplantation (WMT). This study aimed to test these hypotheses by investigating the association between intestinal barrier biomarkers and AD severity, and their correlation with WMT outcomes. Methods: We compared intestinal barrier biomarkers (D-lactate, endotoxin, and diamine oxidase) between 24 AD patients and 23 healthy donors. Additionally, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of 14 AD patients who underwent WMT therapy. Results: AD patients exhibited significantly elevated intestinal barrier biomarkers compared to healthy donors ( Conclusion: This study confirms significant intestinal barrier dysfunction in AD and demonstrates the potential clinical efficacy of WMT. The strong, uncorrected correlations suggest that pre-treatment D-lactate level warrants further investigation as a candidate biomarker for predicting WMT response. The clinical benefits occurred alongside a restructuring of the gut microbiota.
