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

The edible plant microbiome, which includes microbes in raw-eaten plants, has been recently recognized as a vehicle delivering microbes to the gut. Fruits and vegetables can carry thousands to billions of microorganisms with diverse genetic capacities on each serving. Since the 'edible plant microbiome' concept was introduced in 2014, notable progress has been made in understanding its microbial diversity, factors influencing it, functional traits and biomarkers, and its interconnection with the human gut microbiome. The discovery of the link between microbes in plants consumed raw and the gut microbiome establishes a possible continuum from farm to fork and health.
