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

backgroundOnce considered a sterile organ, the human stomach is now known to harbor a diverse microbial community that may influence both gastric homeostasis and disease. While extensive research has been conducted worldwide, regional variation in the gastric microbiome remains insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to describe the gastric antrum microbiome of

methodsSamples of gastric biopsies were obtained from patients undergoing gastroscopy at a tertiary hospital in Greece.

resultsThe gastric microbiome comprised 19 phyla, 150 families, 213 genera, and 391 species. The predominant phyla were Proteobacteria (36.92%), Firmicutes (34.21%), and Bacteroidetes (12.97%). The most prevalent families were
