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: Acute radiation enteritis (ARE) is a common side effect experienced by patients receiving pelvic radiotherapy (RT). Probiotic supplementation is an emerging strategy for preventing ARE. Methods: This phase II trial recruited patients with gynecologic or rectal cancers who received pelvic RT with curative or adjuvant intent. During RT, one packet of Results: This study enrolled 52 patients, 8 participants withdrew, and 44 patients being included in the final analysis. The safety profile of BL21 during RT was favorable, and we did not observe any serious adverse events associated with BL21. Compared with our historical control data, these patients exhibited lower levels of ≥ grade 2 ARE and required fewer antidiarrheal medications ( Conclusions: The favorable safety profile, exploratory clinical observations of reduced ARE severity vs. historical controls, and feasible administration support further investigation of Clinical Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Study Registry (registry ID: ChiCTR2300069881).
