Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAntibiotic Associated Diarrhoea (AAD) and
methodsA multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (the ECLISP) trial, was conducted in three tertiary spinal cord injury centre in the UK to assess the efficacy of consuming a probiotic beverage containing at least 6.5 × 10
findingsBetween November 2014, and November 2019, 359 consenting adult SCI patients (median age: 53.3; range: 18-88 years), from 3 SCI centres responsible for providing approximate 45-50% of UK SCI service, with a requirement for antibiotics due to infection were randomly allocated to receive LcS (
interpretationThe present study indicates that LcS could not prevent AAD/CDI in unselected SCI patients. LcS might have the potential to prevent AAD in the higher risk group of patients on regular PPI. Confirmatory studies are needed to allow translation of this apparent therapeutic success into improved clinical outcomes.
