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

Aging represents a complex biological process associated with decline in skeletal muscle functions. Aging impairs satellite cells that serve as muscle progenitor cells. Probiotic supplementation may have many beneficial effects via various mechanisms. We examined the possible effects of probiotics in stimulating the proliferation of myogenic stellate cells in aging rats. Twenty-four male albino Sprague-Dawley rats were classified equally into four groups: adult control, old control, adult + probiotics, and old + probiotics. Probiotics (Lactobacillus LB) were administered gavage at a dose of 1 ml (1 × 10
