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

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in host homeostasis, with implications for nutrition, immune development, metabolism, and protection against pathogens. Disturbance of the microbiome by microbial invasion can be negative or positive: invasions of opportunistic pathogens can cause disease while dysbiotic states need invasions to recover. However, the complexity of the microbiome challenges our understanding of what factors determine the ability of microbes to invade. In this study, we measure interactions between members of a synthetic community of prominent gut bacteria using supernatant assays, which quantify the growth of one species in the cell-free culture medium of another. We measure relative abundances of co-cultures of up to four species to validate a generalized Lotka-Volterra model parameterized with these supernatant assays. We predict differential invasion outcomes of the opportunistic pathogens
