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

Previous studies have suggested correlations between the microbiota of the black soldier fly and larval growth and bioconversion ability, primarily through functional inference. However, the concrete impact of the microbiota remains to be demonstrated. To address this, we assembled two synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) derived from endogenous bacteria and evaluated their effects on larval growth. SynComs were administered to axenic larvae reared on sterilised diet (gnotobiotic) or as a probiotic in non-sterile treatments. Larvae were reared on vegetable-based (pre-consumer vegetable residues) or on animal-based (chicken hatchery residues) substrates. The SynComs were administered at two concentrations (5 × 10
