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

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is occasionally produced by heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Although such biosynthesis has rarely been reported during sourdough production, the potential of the sourdough strains IMPORTANCE: Lactic acid bacteria have a limited biosynthesis capacity. Their main carbohydrate breakdown pathways enable them to produce energy and to maintain their redox balance. The latter is accomplished through the production of lactic acid in the case of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria and ethanol or acetic acid in the case of heterofermentative ones. However, under certain conditions, other branches of this pathway become active, which lead to end-metabolites that are produced seldomly. An example of such an end-metabolite is erythritol, which was already detected during sourdough production but never investigated in detail. The present study showed the production of erythritol by
