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.
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
Rice is a food with a high starch content, comprising over 75% of its composition. However, prolonged and excessive consumption of this cereal may lead to elevated blood glucose levels, which can increase the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Butyric acid (BA), the primary energy source for colonic epithelial cells, exhibits the highest utilization rate among short-chain fatty acids, underscoring its importance for human health. In this study, rice starch butyrate (RSB) samples were synthesized using the aqueous phase process, with broken rice starch (RS) and butyric anhydride serving as the substrate. RSB samples with different degrees of substitution (DS) were produced by modulating the addition amount of butyric anhydride. The crystal structures, morphology of starch granules, pasting properties, thermal stability, and in vitro digestibilities of the RSB were investigated and compared with those of native rice starch. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful incorporation of butyryl into the starch molecules. With the increase in DS, the roughness of the RSB material's surface gradually increased, leading to the deterioration of the smooth structure on certain surfaces, which resulted in the appearance of cracks and collapses. Additionally, the crystallinity diminished from 24.77% to 7.41% with increasing DS. Concurrently, in vitro digestive characterisation revealed that the percentage of resistant starch increased from 24.33% to 47.72%. Thus, this study can provide a theoretical basis for the development of novel products of amyl butyrate.
