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

Puffer fish and products containing puffer fish are highly regulated and restricted in the United States due to the potential presence of the alkaloid toxins tetrodotoxins (TTX) and saxitoxins (STX). Imported and domestic puffer fish are regulated under the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 123 - Fish and Fishery Products) which identifies Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) processes for the control of specific hazards including natural toxins. Additional restrictions are placed on puffer fish depending on the source. The only approved source of imported puffer fish is allowed through an Exchange of Letters between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare restricting imported products to the meat, skin, and testicles of
