Early-Life Antibiotics and Childhood Obesity: Yeast Probiotics as a Strategy to Modulate Gut Microbiota.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to review the existing literature to investigate the potential link between early-life antibiotic use and being overweight or obese in children. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies published until August 2021 that assessed the relationship between early-childhood antibiotic use and measures of body mass index. The studies included children aged 0-18 years. Only cohort studies were taken into consideration. Studies published in languages other than English were excluded. Antibiotic usage in early life may increase the risk of obesity in children and the addition of yeast probiotics, such as
