Safety of Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 in Healthy Children 2-5 Years of Age.
Trial report in The Pediatric infectious disease journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Probiotics are increasingly used for diarrhea, but studies under the Food and Drug Administration and Investigational New Drug program are few. We conducted a phase-one placebo-controlled study of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 under Investigational New Drug program in 60 children 2-5 years of age (41 L. reuteri, 19 placebos) in a resource-constrained community in Peru. No differences in objective data on adverse events were noted, although some differences based on subjective parental reports for fever and diarrhea were seen.
