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

Increasing the intake of dietary fiber from staple foods is a key strategy to improve the health of consumers. White bread is an attractive vehicle to deliver increased fiber as it is widely consumed and available to all socio-economic groups. However, fiber only accounts for about 4% of the dry weight of white flour and bread compared to 10-15% in whole grain bread and flour. We therefore discuss the challenges and barriers to developing and exploiting new types of wheat with high fiber content in white flour. These include defining and quantifying individual fiber components and understanding how they are affected by genetic and environmental factors. Rapid high throughput assays suitable for determining fiber content during plant breeding and in grain-utilizing industries are urgently required, while the impact of fiber amount and composition on flour processing quality needs to be understood. Overcoming these challenges should have significant effects on human health.
