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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
objectiveThe gut microbiome has been associated with visceral fat (VAT) in European and Asian populations; however, associations with VAT and with ectopic fats among African-ancestry individuals are not known. Our objective was to investigate cross-sectional associations of fecal microbiota diversity and composition with VAT and ectopic fat, as well as body mass index (BMI), among middle-aged and older African Caribbean men.
methodsWe included in our analysis
resultsLower alpha diversity was associated with higher VAT and BMI, and somewhat with higher pericardial and liver fat. VAT, BMI, and pericardial fat each explained similar levels of variance in beta diversity. Gram-negative
conclusionsFecal microbiota features associated with measures of general adiposity also extend to metabolically pernicious VAT and ectopic fat accumulation in older African-ancestry men.
