Trial report in Nutrients, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07487623 (Evaluation of the Hepatoprotective Effects of a Nutritional Supplement Containing Resveratrol, Quercetin, Taurine, Inulin, and Whey Protein on Biochemical, Molecular, and Clinical Markers in Patients With Liver Disease Secondary to Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection), which is not on this map.

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.

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.
