The relationship between fermentable carbohydrates and post-prandial bowel symptoms in patients with functional bowel disorders.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Background and aims: A low fermentable oligosaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and polyols (FODMAP) diet alleviates symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aimed to investigate the relationship between habitual FODMAP intake and post-prandial bowel symptoms in adults with IBS, functional diarrhoea (FD), or constipation (FD) (functional bowel disorders), and in healthy adults (controls). Methods: 292 participants (173 with functional bowel disorders and 119 controls) completed a food and symptom times diary. Estimated meal portion sizes were entered into the Monash FODMAP Calculator to analyse FODMAP content. Wilcoxon and ANOVA tests were used to investigate the relationship between FODMAP intake and post-prandial bowel symptoms. Results: IBS participants experienced more post-prandial bowel symptoms compared to participants with other functional bowel disorders or controls. Meals associated with abdominal pain contained on average increased excess fructose (0.31 g vs. 0.18 g, Conclusion: These findings support the role of FODMAP in post-prandial bowel symptom onset, however, the amount and type of FODMAP triggering symptoms vary between individuals. Future research should investigate the relationship between the effect of individual FODMAP consumption on post-prandial bowel symptoms for each subtype, the interaction of FODMAP with differing functional bowel disorders and whether longitudinally symptoms and dietary intake are stable.
