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

objectiveWe conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of SIBO in diabetic patients and to determine the association between SIBO and diabetes.

methodsA comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases from inception to June 2021 was conducted for studies correlating SIBO with diabetes. Studies were screened, and relevant data were extracted and analysed. The pooled prevalence of SIBO among diabetic patients and the odds ratio of SIBO among diabetic patients compared with controls were calculated.

resultsFourteen studies including 1417 diabetic patients and 649 controls met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of SIBO in diabetes was 29% (95% CI 20-39%). The odds ratio of SIBO in diabetic patients was 2.91 (95% CI 0.82-10.32, p=0.1) compared with controls. Subgroup analyses showed that the prevalence of SIBO in diabetes was higher in studies using jejunal aspirate culture for diagnosis (39%, 95% CI 12-66%) than in those using the lactulose breath test (31%, 95% CI 18-43%) or glucose breath test (29%, 95% CI 14-43%). The prevalence of SIBO in diabetes was higher in studies conducted in Western countries (35%, 95% CI 21-49%) than in those conducted in Eastern countries (24%, 95% CI 14-34%), and the prevalence of SIBO in type 1 diabetes (25%, 95% CI 14%-36%) was not significantly different from that in type 2 diabetes (30%, 95% CI 13%-47%).

conclusionsTwenty-nine percent of diabetic patients tested positive for SIBO, and the risk of SIBO in diabetic patients was 2.91 times higher than that in patients without diabetes. Diabetes could be a predisposing factor for the development of SIBO, especially among patients diagnosed by jejunal aspirate culture or those in Western populations.
