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

Introduction: People living with HIV (PLWH) exhibit gut dysbiosis and chronic immune activation. The early dynamics of the gut-immune axis during the transition from diagnosis to viral suppression remain incompletely understood. Methods: We characterized fecal microbiota (16S rRNA), bacterial translocation (16S rDNA) and gut barrier integrity (serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein, I-FABP, level) in newly diagnosed PLWH at baseline (t0) and after six months of suppressive ART (t6), compared to uninfected controls. Systemic inflammation (serum concentrations of interleukins 6 and 10, soluble CD163), and peripheral blood T-cell activation were also analyzed. Results: Alpha diversity was similar across groups (p>0.05); beta diversity differed significantly between PLWH at t0 and controls (p=0.002). Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis identified an enrichment of short chain fatty acids (SCFA)-producing genera ( Conclusions: Untreated PLWH show a dysbiotic signature, characterized by enrichment of SCFA-producers. Compared to controls, the fecal microbiota of PLWH after 6 months of ART (t6) continued to show differences characterized by a predominance of
