Acarbose May Function as a Competitive Exclusion Agent for the Producing Bacteria.
Article in ACS chemical biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Acarbose is a well-known microbial specialized metabolite used clinically to treat type 2 diabetes. This natural pseudo-oligosaccharide (PsOS) shows potent inhibitory activity toward various glycosyl hydrolases, including α-glucosidases and α-amylases. While acarbose and other PsOSs are produced by many different bacteria, their ecological or biological role in microbial communities is still an open question. Here, we show that several PsOS-producing actinobacteria, i.e.,
