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 AND

aimDespite the well-established involvement of the gut microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), less is known about how the gut microbiome changes over time and how it varies with clinical disease activity and fecal calprotectin (f-calprotectin). To address this gap, we utilized samples from the population-based inception cohort of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease in South-Eastern Norway III (IBSEN III) study.

methodsData and stool samples from study participants with IBD and symptomatic controls were collected at diagnosis and after 3, 6, and 12 months. Microbiome profiling of stool samples was performed targeting the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, and a consensus-based approach of mixed models was employed for the longitudinal microbiome analysis.

resultsWe included 1251 samples from 744 patients with ulcerative colitis, 618 samples from 356 patients with Crohn' s disease and 266 samples from 164 symptomatic non-IBD controls. In the IBD population, we observed that levels of f-calprotectin decreased over time, as did the patient-reported disease activity (P < .001). Distinct changes in the gut microbiome of IBD patients were observed throughout the first year, such as increased alpha diversity (P < .001) and significant taxonomic changes.Notably, there was no covariation between the changes in alpha diversity and f-calprotectin or symptom score.

conclusionThe gut microbiome during the first year after IBD diagnosis showed changes that paralleled inflammation and clinical disease activity, albeit without covariation, suggesting that there may be a disease-driving impact of gut microbiome independent of inflammation and inflammation-driven symptoms.
