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

Objectives: There is emerging evidence of the benefits of Methods: A powdered drink formulated with 2.5 g of Results: The intervention group presented a significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure (Δ -7.0 mmHg, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -11.4, -2.5). Mean fasting plasma glucose (Δ -0.8 mmol/L, 95% CI: -1.8, 0.2) showed a greater reduction in the intervention group compared to the control group (Δ -0.4 mmol/L, 95% CI: -1.2, 0.4). Mean lean body mass showed a favorable trend of increment at week 6 (Δ 0.05 kg, 95% CI: -0.40, 0.49) and week 12 (Δ 0.16 kg, 95% CI: -0.33, 0.64) as compared to baseline in the intervention group but not in the control group which manifested decreasing lean body mass.
