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

This document provides guidance to assist in the preparation of applications for regulated products to be used in the food chain containing, made from or produced by using microorganisms, genetically modified or not, that are subject to risk assessment within EFSA's remit before their placement on the EU market. This guidance focuses on the scientific requirements to characterise the microorganisms and, to some extent, their products. It provides the basis for hazard identification in support of the risk assessment of microorganisms and establishes the data requirements to conduct the risk assessment.
