How do gut microbes break down dietary fiber?
Article in Trends in biochemical sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Trillions of commensal bacteria in our colon thrive on what we do not digest in our small intestine. Many have evolved multiple sophisticated machineries, termed polysaccharide utilization loci or PULs, for carbohydrate breakdown; each PUL may target a particular complex carbohydrate. Until now, studies have focused on the structural and functional characterization of individual PUL constituents. A recent work by Larsbrink et al. moves the scope from single-gene analysis to the entire PUL dissection.
