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: Early infancy is critical for gut microbiome assembly and the establishment of colonization resistance against pathobionts. Whether age-associated microbiome maturation is accompanied by changes in colonization-resistance proxies and relative antimicrobial resistance gene profiles under low infant antibiotic exposure remains unclear. Methods: We analyzed shotgun metagenomes from 82 fecal samples collected from 54 healthy infants (54 at 1 month and 28 at 6 months). Taxonomic and functional profiles were generated using MetaPhlAn 4 and HUMAnN3, and AMR genes were annotated using RGI/CARD. Age-associated taxa were screened by LEfSe and tested using MaAsLin2 with adjustment for key perinatal covariates. Results: Age group was associated with modest but statistically significant differences in community structure (Bray-Curtis PERMANOVA Conclusions: In this infant antibiotic-restricted cohort, microbiome profiles at 6 months were associated with lower relative abundance of potential pathobionts and higher colonization-resistance proxy indices.
