Pilot Analysis of Early Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG for Infant Colic Prevention.
Trial report in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a trial of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) supplementation as a pilot study to assess whether LGG prevents infant colic. For the first 6 months of life, infants received a daily dose of 10 billion colony-forming units of LGG or a control (n = 184). We compared the likelihood of a diagnosis of colic before 4 months of age, based on parent-reported symptoms or a physician diagnosis of colic. Out of the 184 infants, 18 (9.8%) had colic. There were no differences between the 2 groups in the percentage of infants with colic based on symptoms (control 5.4% vs LGG 9.8%; P = 0.19); physician diagnosis (control 3.2% vs LGG 7.6%; P = 0.26); or either symptoms or diagnosis combined (control 6.5% vs LGG 13.0%; P = 0.13). In this pilot study, early infant LGG supplementation does not appear to prevent the later development of colic.
