Faecal varieties between high- and low-converters of cholesterol.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundAnalyzing faecal sterol concentrations in humans, subjects with a strongly decreased faecal cholesterol conversion were identified. The reasons and outcomes of this phenomenon have not been sufficiently investigated because of the complexity of the host-microflora interactions. SUBJECTS/
methodsTo evaluate differences between cholesterol high and low converters, the sterol excretion and faeces attributes of 320 healthy subjects (213 women, 107 men) were analyzed. Two different cut-off levels classifying cholesterol high and low converters were tested (level 1: conversion rate <30%; level 2: 50th percentile).
resultsIn both test models the faeces attributes differ significantly in a lower pH value and a lower faecal dry matter of the low converters in comparison with the high converters.
conclusionsThese findings in faeces may reflect the conditions in the colon and can be a reason for the decreased bacterial growth and/or activity of cholesterol-reducing bacteria in the colonic microflora.
