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/
objectivesDiets enriched with live microbes offer multiple health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary intake of live microbes and accelerated biological age, as well as to examine the mediating role of insulin resistance.
methodsThe study included 4,909 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2018. Dietary live microbes intake was assessed using a self-report questionnaire. Insulin resistance was measured using the HOMA-IR and plasma insulin levels. Biological age and accelerated aging were assessed using PhenoAge and PhenoAgeAccel. We performed weighted multiple linear regression, logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, mediation analyses, and interaction analyses to explore the relationships between dietary live microbe intake, insulin resistance, and accelerated aging.
resultsHigher intake of live dietary microbes, compared to lower intake, was associated with a slower rate of accelerated aging after full adjustment for confounders (β = 0.15; 95% CI: - 0.26 to - 0.04; P = 0.008). RCS curves indicated an L-shaped dose-response relationship (P-nonlinear = 0.0003). Insulin resistance-related metrics (HOMA-IR and insulin) partially mediated these effects, with mediation proportions ranging from 24.65% to 30.03%. Interaction analyses revealed no significant interaction between dietary live microbe intake and other stratification factors regarding phenotypic age.
conclusionsThe intake of dietary live microbes is nonlinearly associated with accelerated biological age. IR partially mediated the relationship.
