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

Introduction: The gut microbiota plays a central role in shaping systemic immunity and modulating the gut-lung axis, which is crucial during respiratory infections such as COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 infection is known to disrupt the gut microbiome, but the downstream functional impacts on microbial metabolism and host immune responses remain insufficiently understood. Methods: Using K18-hACE2 transgenic mice, researchers investigated the effects of SARS-CoV-2 variants (WA and Omicron) on the gut microbiome and host immunity. Microbial composition and functional profiles were assessed post-infection. To test the therapeutic potential of Results: In K18-hACE2 transgenic mice infected with SARS-CoV-2, there was a marked reduction in gut microbial diversity, accompanied by a consistent enrichment of Discussion: These findings position
