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

Previous studies have suggested that ethanol is a fermentation product of microflora. However, it is unknown whether this ethanol production is elevated by intake of prebiotics. Prebiotics are considered to enhance the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as a fermentation product of beneficial bacteria. In the present study, the effect of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) consumption on intestinal ethanol levels was investigated. Rats were fed a diet with or without 10% FOS for two weeks. Consequently, FOS intake significantly increased ethanol levels per gram of ileum and cecum digesta of the rats (3.5-fold and 1.9-fold, respectively, P<0.01). The numbers of cecum
