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
backgroundDietary habits have been linked with variability of gut microbiota composition and disease risk.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding a cocoa powder with or without a probiotic on the composition and function of the fecal microbiome of pigs.
methodsFour groups of 8 pigs each were fed a standard growth diet supplemented with cocoa powder,
resultsAfter 4 wk of treatment, bacterial abundance analysis demonstrated a prebiotic effect of cocoa powder on endogenous Bifidobacteriaceae and Lactobacillaceae and increased abundance of saccharolytic butyrate-producing bacteria like
conclusionThe data generated from this work demonstrated that 4-wk dietary treatment with cocoa powder alone or in combination with LGG probiotic had an impact on the composition and function of the fecal microbiota of healthy pigs.
