High β-Glucan Whole Grain Barley Reduces Postprandial Glycemic Response in Healthy Adults-Part One of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe effects of sweetened and unsweetened high β-glucan whole grain barley on postprandial blood glucose response in normoglycemic human subjects were evaluated in a randomized, controlled, crossover clinical trial.
methodsSixteen healthy, over-night fasted participants were studied on four or eight separate occasions. Participants consumed an unsweetened preload condition (
resultsIn both sweetened and unsweetened conditions, higher β-glucan content was associated with lower blood glucose peak response and incremental area under the curve estimates (iAUC). In comparison to the unsweetened conditions, the sweetened conditions resulted in less prominent decreases in mean blood glucose response and iAUC blood glucose as β-glucan content increased.
conclusionsBy attenuating postprandial glycemic response, high β-glucan whole grain barley foods could play a role in helping to control blood glucose.
