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

Diet and nutrition are strongly implicated in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes; low dietary fibre intake could be an important factor. Evidence from prospective observational studies has suggested that it may be low cereal fibre intake, rather than low fruit and vegetable fibre intake, which is particularly important. In this issue of Diabetologia (DOI 10.1007/s00125-015-3585-9 ) Kuijsten et al report on the prospective associations between different dietary fibre sources and type 2 diabetes risk in the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Interact study and set their findings in context with a meta-analysis of relevant published prospective studies. The results presented strengthen the evidence implicating cereal fibre as an important determinant of type 2 diabetes risk and suggest that randomised controlled trials examining the effect of cereal fibre supplementation on type 2 diabetes risk are now needed.
