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

Life originated in the absence of oxygen. Despite its substantial energetic advantages, many modern microbes remain obligate anaerobes, confined to anoxic niches such as the mammalian gut. Why these organisms cannot tolerate oxygen has remained unresolved for more than two centuries. Here, using integrated multi-omics analyses, we identify a network of interlocking vulnerabilities in central metabolism, biosynthetic pathways, and redox homeostasis that together impose an aerobic growth barrier in the obligate anaerobic commensal
