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 influence of structural characteristics on taste perception of glucooligosaccharides (GlcOS) remains poorly understood. This study examined the role of α-1,6 glycosidic linkages in GlcOS taste perception by evaluating two sugar-free α-1,6 linkage-containing GlcOS: maltosyl-isomaltooligosaccharides (MIMO) and isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO). Both target samples were fractionated via graded ethanol precipitation to remove mono- and disaccharides. Structural characterization confirmed average degree of polymerizations of 6 and 5 for the MIMO and IMO preparations, respectively. NMR analyses showed α-1,6 linkage proportions of ~75% in MIMO and ~50% in IMO, with the latter also containing branched maltooligosaccharides. In sensory tests, participants (N=28) were able to discriminate 150 mM samples from water (
