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

Thua Nao is a Thai traditional fermented soybean food and low-cost protein supplement. This study aimed to evaluate the bacterial community in Thua Nao from northern Thailand and assess potentially active short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-related bacteria. Sixty-five Thua Nao consisting of 30 wet and 35 dried samples were collected from six provinces: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Lampang, Lamphun, and Phayao. Bacterial diversity was significantly higher in the wet samples than in the dried samples. The dominant phyla were Firmicutes (92.7%), Proteobacteria (6.7%), Actinobacteriota (0.42%), and Bacteroidota (0.26%). The genus Bacillus (67%) was the most represented in all samples. Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Globicatella were enriched in the wet samples. Assessment of the SCFA-microbiota relationships revealed that high butyrate and propionate concentrations were associated with an increased Clostridiales abundance, and high acetate concentrations were associated with an increased Weissella abundance. Wet products contained more SCFAs, including acetate (P = 2.8e-08), propionate (P = 0.0044), butyrate (P = 0.0021), and isovalerate (P = 0.017), than the dried products. These results provide insight into SCFA-microbiota associations in Thua Nao, which may enable the development of starter cultures for SCFA-enriched Thua Nao production.
