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

backgroundThe gut microbiota composition of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients differs from healthy people, and diet is among the powerful environmental determinants that can alter the microbiota. The purpose of this clinical research was to identify the effect of the Ideal Food Pyramid on gut microbiota in RA, as well as its impact on disease activity, biochemical findings and anthropometric measurements.

methodsThirty patients diagnosed with RA that met the inclusion criteria were randomized into diet and control groups and followed for 12 weeks. The gut microbiota composition was indicated by 16SrRNA gene sequencing.

resultsAt the end of this study, Simpson, Shannon and Chao-1 indices were higher in the diet group (16) than in the control group (14), although not significantly (

conclusionsThe Ideal Food Pyramid has been determined to have many clinical benefits for RA patients, especially for the gut microbiota.
