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

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether probiotics are effective in improving symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) accompanied by anxiety. Methods: There were 116 patients with FD accompanied by anxiety and 114 patients without anxiety. Each group was randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received probiotics in addition to conventional acid suppression and gastric protection, as well as prokinetic treatments. The control group received conventional treatment plus a placebo. Results: Before treatment, significant differences were observed in IL-1, IL-6, TNF- Conclusion: The intervention significantly improved the symptoms and anxiety scores of patients with FD and anxiety, and the changes in intestinal mucosal permeability indexes were closely related to symptom relief and anxiety improvement, Probiotic interventions may be an effective means of improving symptoms in patients with FD.
