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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesConsumption of refined white rice, a staple food in most Asian countries, reportedly causes postprandial hyperglycemia and facilitates the development of diabetes. However, cereal grains with low glycemic indices may reduce postprandial glycemic response. We developed a highland barley-multigrain rice by combining traditional Chinese grains including, highland barley, brown rice, oats, corn grit, and buckwheat. This study aimed to evaluate the glycemic impact, sensory attributes, and appetite response of our highland barley-multigrain rice compared to white rice. METHODS AND STUDY

designIn this randomized crossover trial, ten healthy participants consumed highland barley-multigrain rice, white rice, and glucose, each containing 50 g of available carbohydrate under continuous glucose monitoring to compare postprandial glycemic responses over 180 min. The sensory and appetite ratings for the test foods were also evaluated.

resultsThe glucose response of highland barley-multigrain rice, based on the incremental area under the curve and peak glucose change levels, showed statistically lower values than white rice. The glycemic index at 120 min (42.9±4.4 vs.79.5±8.0, p <0.001) and 180 min (45.3±4.7 vs. 86.1±8.7, p <0.01) after the consumption of highland barley-multigrain rice was all significantly lower than those of regular white rice. Despite its relatively poor taste and overall preference rating, the highland barley-multigrain rice achieved a higher satiety score at 120 min after intake than white rice.

conclusionsAs a low-glycemic index food, highland barley-multigrain rice could decrease postprandial glucose response and reduce hunger in healthy adults, indicating a potential role in improving glycemic control for patients with diabetes.
