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

Natural products play a pivotal role in human health by exerting bioactive effects, including the modulation of the gut microbiome. Cacao, a widely consumed natural product, is rich in polyphenols and dietary fiber, which may influence microbial composition and metabolic functions. However, its effects on the gut microbiota remain poorly understood, particularly regarding inter-individual differences. This study investigated the impact of cacao on gut microbiota using an in vitro fecal incubation model with samples from healthy Korean adults. Our findings classified the gut microbiota of Korean individuals into two distinct enterotypes:
