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

Beer produced by autochthonous microbial fermentation is a long-established craft beer style in Belgium that has now been implemented commercially in New Zealand. We used a metabarcoding approach to characterize the microbiome of 11 spontaneously fermented beers produced by a single brewery in Oamaru from 2016 to 2022. Key organic acid concentrations were also determined. Both bacterial and fungal populations varied considerably between vintages and between individual brews produced in 2020. Similarly, for organic acids, the concentrations of L-malic acid, succinic acid, and L-lactic acid statistically differed from one vintage to another. Moreover, a correlation between the concentrations of certain organic acids and microbial composition was inferred by ordination analyses. Through reference to publicly available climate data, humidity and maximum temperature seemed to enhance the abundance of
