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

objectiveDiets rich in live microbes can bring various health benefits. However, the association between dietary live microbe intake and frailty has not been studied.

methodsThe study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018. A total of 11,529 participants were included. Sanders et al. classified the level of live microbes in foods into low (<10

resultsIn the fully adjusted model, participants with high dietary intake of live microbe had a significantly lower risk of frailty than those with low dietary intake of live microbe (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.56, 0.79). For every 100 grams of MedHi food consumed, the risk of frailty decreased by 11% (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.85, 0.92) after adjusting all covariates. The RCS indicated the existence of non-linear relationships. For those who consumed less than 100 grams of MedHi, increasing MedHi intake may significantly reduce the risk of frailty, but after exceeding 100 grams, the curve gradually levels off.

conclusionsOur results suggested that increasing dietary live microbe intake was associated with a lower risk of frailty. However, more research is needed to verify this.
