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

Recently, an oral-gut communication axis has been proposed. Herein, we review clinical studies reporting differences in oral microbial communities in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), with a focus on Crohn's Disease (CD), as well as evidence from experimental models. While available studies support evidence for the direct transmission of oral-derived bacteria to gut, further work is needed to clarify whether such transmission results in stable colonization of intestinal niches and the establishment of a persistent host-microbe state that influences host physiology. To date, evidence from clinical and murine studies suggests three routes of the oral-gut axis, which in turn directly or indirectly exacerbate intestinal inflammation and contribute to IBD pathogenesis: (i) direct invasion of pathobionts through swallowing, (ii) migration of the oral pathogen activated pro-inflammatory immune cells, (iii) systemic inflammation triggered by oral pathogens such as
