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/

objectivesInadequate dietary fibre intake remains a public health concern across Europe, particularly for adolescents. Bread is a widely consumed staple and a potential vehicle for improving dietary fibre intake. This study aimed to quantify the dietary fibre content of commonly consumed breads and assess their contribution to daily dietary fibre intake in the Slovenian population, with a focus on adolescents.

methodsA total of 58 bread samples were analysed using an accredited enzymatic-gravimetric method. Consumption data were drawn from the nationally representative SI.Menu dietary survey.

resultsA substantial variation in dietary fibre content was observed across bread types, with wholegrain breads providing the highest levels (mean: 7.5 g/100 g) and white wheat breads the lowest (2.9 g/100 g). In adolescents, white wheat bread was most often consumed, contributing disproportionately to total bread intake and limiting dietary fibre intake. We modelled two substitution scenarios, replacing 30% and 50% of white wheat bread with wholegrain bread, which resulted in mean dietary fibre increases of 1.4 g/day and 2.0 g/day, respectively.

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that realistic bread substitution strategies-particularly in institutional settings such as schools-could significantly improve dietary fibre intake in youth populations. The study also underscores the need for clearer regulatory definitions and labelling of wholegrain bread, especially in non-prepacked products.
