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

Background: The benefits and risks of bifid triple viable preparations in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are still controversial. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bifid triple viable preparations in combination with enteral nutrition for the management of AIS. Methods: Eight public databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, VIP, WanFang, EBSCO, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for relevant clinical literature, published through January 2024. These data were then used in the present meta-analysis. Results: A total of 15 studies involving 1,544 patients were included in the meta-analysis. In terms of nutritional status, the results showed that compared with enteral nutrition alone, the bifid triple viable preparation combination group increased the levels of total protein (mean difference [MD], 5.53; 95%confidence interval [CI], 1.94-9.12; Conclusion: The addition of bifid triple viable preparation to enteral nutrition improved the nutritional status, neurological function, intestinal barrier function, and immune function of patients with AIS, and reduced the risk of infection and gastrointestinal events.
