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

Dietary fiber is widely recognized for its benefits to human health. Individual variations in the ability to degrade dietary fiber are influenced by the gut microbiome that may be associated with the host's metabolic phenotype and genetic diversity. This is exemplified by the distinct fiber digestibility observed in obese (e.g. Meishan) and lean-breed (e.g. Yorkshire) pigs. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study found that with the same diet under the same environment, the obese-type Meishan pigs showed greater dietary fiber digestibility and harbored higher abundances of polysaccharide-degrading bacteria (
