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

backgroundEvidence suggests that Bacillus coagulans TBC169 can improve intestinal motility.

aimTo investigate the effectiveness and safety of Bacillus coagulans TBC169 probiotics in promoting the recovery of intestinal function after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

methodPatients who underwent laparoscopic surgeries due to gynecological diseases were randomly assigned to the high-dose, conventional-dose, and the placebo-control groups (1:1:1 ratio). The primary outcome was the time to the first passage of flatus time (FFT). Secondary outcomes were the time to the first defecation (FDT), the time to the first bowel sounds (TFBS), the duration of hospital stay (DHS), and the incidence of postoperative adverse events (AEs).

resultsCompared to the placebo-control group, shorter FFT values were observed in the conventional-dose (23.15 h vs. 29.10 h, P < 0.05) and high-dose (19.15 h vs. 29.10 h, P < 0.001) groups. Similar trends were observed regarding TFBS in the conventional-dose (18.50 h vs. 21.10 h, P < 0.05) and high-dose (15.20 h vs. 21.10 h, P < 0.001) groups. There were no significant differences in FFT and TFBS between the intervention groups. Compared to the placebo-control group, lower incidences of postoperative adverse events were observed in the conventional-dose (12.50% vs. 40.00%, P < 0.05) and the high-dose (5.00% vs. 40.00%, P < 0.001) groups. However, there were no significant differences between these intervention groups.

conclusionBacillus coagulans TBC169 probiotics can accelerate intestinal function recovery, and reduce postoperative adverse events in patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. The study protocol was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200059518).
