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

objectivesIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) stands as a prevalent functional gastrointestinal condition known for causing persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel patterns, and diminished quality of life. The low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet has emerged as a potential approach to managing IBS through dietary adjustments. To explore how the low FODMAP diet affects symptom relief, nutritional well-being, and overall quality of life in IBS patients when compared to those adhering to a standard diet. METHODS AND STUDY

designA retrospective cohort study was conducted, including patients with IBS categorized into a regular diet group and a low FODMAP diet group. Dietary intake, daily nutrient intake, IBS symptom severity, adverse events, and quality of life were assessed.

resultsThe low FODMAP diet group demonstrated significantly lower intake of fermentable carbohydrates, including total dietary fiber, fructose, lactose, sorbitol, and total carbohydrates, compared to the regular diet group. Additionally, the low FODMAP diet group exhibited favourable nutritional profiles, reflecting higher intake and utilization of essential nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Moreover, significant improvements in symptom severity, adverse event profiles, and quality-of-life scores were observed in the low FODMAP diet group compared to the regular diet group.

conclusionsThe Low-FODMAP Diet significantly alters nutrient intake in IBS patients, which may contribute to the observed symptom relief.
