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

Although several studies have evaluated the effect of synbiotic intake on metabolic profiles in patients with diabetes, findings are inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to summarize the evidence on the effect of synbiotic intake on metabolic profiles in patients with diabetes. The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. All RCTs published up to 12 November 2016 were included. Two review authors independently assessed study eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated risk of bias of included studies. Heterogeneity was measured with a Q test and with I
