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

backgroundUsing dietary interventions to steer the metabolic output of the gut microbiota towards specific health-promoting metabolites is often challenging due to interpersonal variation in treatment responses.

methodsIn this study, we combined the ex vivo SIFR

resultsThe findings reveal that at a dose equivalent to 1.5 g/d, cRG-I consistently promoted indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) production (+45.8% increase) across all subjects. At a dose equivalent to 0.3 g/d, increased IPA production was also observed (+14.6%), which was comparable to the effect seen for 1.5 g/d inulin (10.6%). IPA has been shown to provide protection against diseases affecting the gut and multiple organs. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong correlation (R = 0.65,
